As the medical destination for innovative research and treatment for retinal diseases, the Retina Foundation is leading the way to uncover impactful solutions for the 18 million people in the United States living with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of vision loss in people over the age of 50. Dr. Karl Csaky will present the latest breakthroughs in AMD therapies and innovations, offering a look at the future of sight-saving science. Dr. Srinivasa Sripathi will share exciting updates about the first-of-its-kind AMD sibling study, which has grown to 50 participants, including identical twins. The study has uncovered powerful insights into why two people with the same genes have different outcomes. AMD and other retinal degenerations impact entire families across generations, underscoring the importance and personal nature of this study. Laurie Litherland Dotter and her family will share their meaningful involvement in the Retina Foundation’s cutting-edge research and deep commitment in finding solutions.
