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.
In October 2022, Research to Prevent Blindness held a virtual event, “RPB Lunch & Learn: Eye on Geographic Atrophy and Dry AMD,” sponsored by Apellis Pharmaceuticals. The event was designed to educate RPB’s community on the pathology and features of GA and dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), as well as explore cutting-edge research directions that are shedding light on emerging treatment options.
