FORMERLY KNOWN AS SOFIA SEES HOPE
SEEING A CURE FOR BLINDNESS
What is Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA)?
LCA is a rare inherited retinal disease characterized by severe vision loss at birth. While some children are born with little or no vision, others may have significant vision loss in the first few years of life, stable vision for a period of time, and then eventually complete vision loss as the retina deteriorates into total blindness.
What We Do
Founded in 2014 as Sofia Sees Hope, Hope in Focus is a nonprofit 501(c)3 patient advocacy organization dedicated to generating awareness, raising funds for research, and providing support, education and outreach to the LCA and rare inherited retinal disease community.
Thank You to These Organizations
for their Ongoing Commitment to Hope in Focus.

Daniel is a serial entrepreneur and passionate advocate for rare disease patients. After one of his children was diagnosed with a rare disease, he started ProQR to develop RNA therapies for rare diseases. Under Daniel’s leadership, ProQR developed a platform that yielded a diversified pipeline of potential treatments for rare diseases and raised more than $400M in funding, including an IPO on Nasdaq. ![]()

ProQR is currently in Phase 2/3 trials with Sepofarsen (QR-110), RNA therapy that aims to restore vision in Leber congenital amaurosis 10 (LCA10) due to the most common p.Cys998X mutation in the CEP290 gene. #lca10, #CEP290![]()
