The Chair’s Circle
Legacy Through Leadership
The AVR Chair’s Circle is a bespoke bequest initiative led by the Chair of Australian Vision Research. Through expressions of interest, it brings together a select group of ophthalmologists and supporters who share a deep commitment to the future of vision science.
These individuals choose to leave a gift in their will—extending a lifetime of care into a legacy that helps protect sight for generations to come.
Together, the Chair’s Circle honours ophthalmology both as a profession and a science, invests in future discoveries, and ensures the breakthroughs of tomorrow are made possible by the pledges made today.
