In October, Research to Prevent Blindness held a virtual event, "RPB Lunch & Learn: Eye on Dry AMD," designed to educate RPB's community on the pathology and features of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), as well as explore cutting-edge research directions that are shedding light on early diagnosis and treatment options. The event featured:
