Patient Registry

The Patient Registry is for CANADIAN RESIDENTS ONLY.

Are you living with an inherited retinal disease? Are you interested in helping to advance research in Canada and in contributing to the development of new treatments and cures? If so, consider enroling in our Patient Registry!

Fighting Blindness Canada’s Patient Registry is a secure medical database that collects information about Canadians living with inherited retinal diseases to connect them to clinical trials and research.

By enroling in the Patient Registry, participants signal their interest in being contacted to:

• Participate in clinical trials
• Help improve patient care
• Inform health policy
• Drive sight-saving research

If you would like to register for the Patient Registry, start by selecting your region from the list below.

Important things to consider:

• By filling out this online form, you are not enroling directly in the Patient Registry. Rather, you are expressing interest in the Registry and allowing Fighting Blindness Canada to contact you with more information. This is a necessary first step that will begin the process of enroling you.
• Once you have filled out our form, you will be emailed with contact information for an enrolment centre coordinator. You must contact the enrolment centre coordinator yourself. Once you do this, your coordinator will provide you with a consent form that you fill out and send to them. Once you have signed your consent form. you are considered enroled.
• You do not have to get genetic testing to enrol in the Patient Registry. Getting your genetic testing is the best way to find out if there is a clinical trial for you. We are here to help you complete this step of your journey.
