The Jack McGovern Coats' Disease Foundation raises awareness and funds for research to improve treatments and find a cure for Coats' Disease which is a rare eye disorder that can cause blindness and, sometimes, the loss of an eye. The blood vessels behind the retina leak fluid and can cause retinal detachment. There is currently no cure for Coats' Disease which afflicts children as young as 4 mos. old and treatments such as laser surgery do not restore sight. The Foundation's vision is to find a cure. Our mission is to serve as a resource for the Coats' Community. We have launched a patient registry for researchers; a doctor directory to locate knowledgeable specialists; and established the first National Tissue BioBank with the Wilmer Eye Institute to provide tissue samples for research.
