The Global Vision Loss Challenge
200M+ People have age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), 288 million by 2040
1/4,000 newborns has Retinitis Pigmentosa
An Unmet Medical Need
retinal blindness remains uncured, despite billions in r&D
160,000 late-stage dry AMD, 148,000 late-stage wet AMD annually in the US
advanced AMD and inherited retina disease cost the US more than $70 billion every year.
