My career has been dedicated to helping people with vision loss, which can drastically affect quality of life. This is why I have joined RPB Horizon and included Research to Prevent Blindness in my estate plans. The only way to help people to avoid vision loss is by creating new treatments and cures for sight – threatening diseases, and high-quality research is the best way to do this.
