From gene therapy to AI diagnostics, #VisionScience is leading innovation across medicine. But without investment, progress slows and we lose sight of what matters. #VisionResearch matters. https://bit.ly/40EM6si

This fall, I'll go to the capital to share my research with congressional staff and advocate for funding of scientific research on the sense of sight.

Funding decisions made today determine who gets to see tomorrow. Support the National Eye Institute!

You don’t see #VisionResearch. But it sees you. Most of us don’t think about vision research. But millions live every day with the impact of it—when it’s there, and when
it’s not. Vision research changes lives. bit.ly/3GXVIaZ
