Dry eye is a chronic medical condition that develops when the eye's tear film does not lubricate and protect the eye's outer surface.
The recipient of the RPB/AMDF Catalyst Award for Innovative Approaches to Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) provides an update on his work to develop a new small molecule approach to treating wet AMD, the advanced form of the disease in which blood vessels in the eye leak into the macula, which provides central vision. We thank Dr. Punzo for sharing his time and expertise with the American Macular Degeneration Foundation and Research to Prevent Blindness.
