Recently OptometryToday.com pictured Actress Camilla Power wearing a t-shirt promoting the Fight for Sight Eye Cycle. The shirt, which has an image of a healthy retina, "celebrates"  Eye Cycle team, actor Lloyd Hutchison, jewellery designer Alex Monroe, and scientist John Greenwood. The three have "completed a gruelling Land’s End to John O’Groats cycle ride in aid of the eye research charity. Professor Greenwood is a researcher at UCL Institute of Ophthalmology. All proceeds from the sale of the t-shirt will benefit  fundraising for Fight for Sight." The t-shirt retails for about 10 pounds sterling or about $16 U.S.

Last year, FS gave more than $20 million in grants to some 3000  researchers.
