Description

The Bay Area Chapter of the Foundation Fighting Blindness will host a speaker series event called Save Sight Saturday on Nov. 17, from 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Parnassus Campus’ Cole Hall Auditorium. This free event will provide disease information and research updates for individuals and families affected with blinding retinal degenerative diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa (RP), Usher syndrome and related conditions. These sight-robbing diseases affect more than 10 million Americans, young and old, but promising research in areas such as gene therapy, stem cells, prosthetic technology and pharmaceuticals give hope to those with low to no vision.
