In 2025, Sydney Eye Hospital welcomed a cutting-edge addition to its ophthalmic oncology clinic: the ABSolu® Ultrasound Platform by Ellex. This state-of-the-art technology is now used to monitor patients with complex eye conditions, such as rare ocular cancers, who require ongoing specialist care.
Through the Grants Program, the Foundation's investment in advanced diagnostic technology reflects its commitment to supporting excellence in eye care and improving outcomes for patients with serious ocular diseases.
