Vision is our most precious
and complex human sense. The loss of vision can be one of the most
emotionally, physically and socially debilitating medical catastrophes
that can befall an individual. Unfortunately, the number of diseases
that can lead to vision loss and the number of individuals affected
by them is staggering, the Ross Eye Institute has set out to address
these diseases.
