Founded in 2016, The LCI Foundation and Dr. Mark Humayun combined their talents to address their shared mission—combatting vision disorders. The LC Industries Foundation together with Leap Biomed Innovators and its key advisors, share the common goal of ending vision loss and blindness. Our pursuits and partnerships seek to transform the lives of those who fear vision loss.
