Dr. Paul A. Weber’s legacy is honored through three funds within the Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences: two endowed funds, which are fully funded, and the Paul A. Weber Innovation and Research Fund, a current-use fund supporting immediate priorities in research and innovation.
We encourage donors to direct their support to the Paul A. Weber Innovation and Research Fund, which advances groundbreaking research and innovative approaches to prevent and treat blindness and eye disease, including glaucoma and macular degeneration. Gifts to this fund provide flexible, immediate resources to accelerate discovery and improve patient care.
