Lorin is our newest Ambassador of The Eye Foundation. Born with Retinitis pigmentosa, Lorin was declared legally blind at the age of four. Yet he was determined not to let his disability exclude him from leading a full and meaningful life.

He successfully completed high school and went on to receive a college Diploma with high distinctions. During this time he was also an accomplished cyclist, swimmer and springboard diver. Today, Lorin and wife Lisa live in Brisbane, Australia where they are happily married with four children.

“As a person who has struggled with extremely low vision my entire life, I fully appreciate how miraculous and wonderful the gift of sight is in our lives.  The amazing work of our eye specialists has given me much hope in preserving what little sight I’ve had in the past, and now gives me even greater hope for restoring my sight in the future. The Eye Foundation’s vision is more than simply preserving eye sight... It’s about giving all Aussie’s the best possible opportunity for maintaining and improving our quality of life.”
