The main objective is to promote the search for a treatment for Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), Usher Syndrome, Macular Degeneration and allied retinal dystrophies. Main emphasis should be given to inherited forms of retinal dystrophies.

Under the terms of this objective, the following are the functions of Retina International:

Retina International, GA 2016, Taipei (Taiwan) pg. 8 appendix 03-2, Financial reports 2014/2015 - 16.05.25 - To promote and stimulate research into Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), Usher Syndrome, Macular Degeneration and allied retinal dystrophies, especially by keeping in touch with scientific developments around the world and doing all in its power to foster co-operation and co-ordination among scientists with a view to expediting the development of treatments for Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), Usher Syndrome, Macular Degeneration and allied retinal dystrophies.

- To promote on an international and inter-Foundation basis, what the National Foundations provide on a national and inter-member basis; i.e. mutual support and encouragement in the struggle against Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), Usher Syndrome, Macular Degeneration and allied retinal dystrophies.

- To promote public awareness and provide information on Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), Usher Syndrome, Macular Degeneration and allied retinal dystrophies through maintenance of a high degree of international contact and exchange of literature and other useful material.

- To promote the establishment of societies of persons with retinal degenerations in countries in which such societies do not already exist.

Retina International was created by the member societies to help them achieve their purposes.
