Global Health Impact
Understanding the burden of retinal diseases and our commitment to restoring dignity, independence, and opportunity to patients and families worldwide.
The Global Burden of Retinal Diseases
Millions of people worldwide suffer from retinal degenerative diseases that lead to irreversible blindness. Behind every statistic is a patient, a family, and a community affected.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
The leading cause of blindness in people over 60, affecting quality of life and independence in later years.
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR)
A devastating complication of diabetes that can progress to blindness, disproportionately affecting underserved populations.
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)
A rare but devastating inherited condition causing progressive vision loss, often beginning in childhood or young adulthood.
Beyond the Numbers: Human Impact
Retinal diseases don't just affect vision—they transform entire lives. Patients lose their independence, their ability to work, drive, and participate fully in family life. Caregivers face increased responsibilities and emotional stress.
The economic burden extends beyond healthcare costs to include lost productivity, disability payments, and the countless indirect costs that ripple through families and communities.
Current treatments focus on slowing progression. But families want more than preserved vision—they want restoration. They want hope.
