Information from FFB

Do you take your eyesight for granted?  Did you know that every year nearly 10 million Americans go blind due to AMD or Age-related Macular Degeneration?   I did not know this or know what AMD is.  It is important to take care of our eyes. Read below to find out more. 

The exciting news is that a cure is in sight! What can you do to help?

The Foundation Fighting Blindness, a non-profit organization, has provided funding for research on cures for blindness, specifically AMD, since 1971. In fact, with the research FFB has already made possible, treatments to stop and in some cases even reverse retinal disease is a reality. 

This is great news for people over 55 and their families. With AMD it is nearly impossible for grandparents to enjoy the little things in life such as playing games, watching movies and reading to their grandchildren. However, due to innovative research, those things are once again possible for many people…but, we need to continue this outreach, support additional research and find cures. 

This is why our campaign focus is on ‘Driving Research & SAVING SIGHT!’.
