At the Lions Eye Institute (LEI), we believe the best research is guided by the people it aims to help. Through the Consumer and Community Involvement (CCI), patients, carers and community members work alongside researchers to share their experiences and help shape research priorities.
By involving consumers, who are people with lived experience of eye conditions, our research becomes more relevant, meaningful and impactful. When consumers are part of that process, from shaping ideas to reviewing research outcomes, it helps ensure studies address real patient needs and ultimately lead to better health outcomes.
Join the LEI Consumer Registry
If you are interested in contributing to eye research beyond participating in a single study, you may wish to join the Institute’s Consumer Registry.
Members of the registry may be invited to:
- Share their perspectives on new research ideas
- Review patient information materials
- Join advisory or discussion groups
- Help ensure research reflects the needs of patients and the community
Participation is always voluntary, and you can choose when and how you would like to be involved.
