Eye on the Cure

Video Included
You know, it seems like every month there’s a national campaign raising awareness about one important health-related cause or another, and January, as National Eye Care Month, was no exception.  Just because it’s ended doesn’t mean we can forget about the importance of eye care, which is at the very heart of the Foundation’s mission to bring an end to retinal degenerations that affect more than 10 million Americans.

While the Foundation is actively seeking preventions, treatments and cures for these affected individuals, we also promote general eye health, which is relevant to everyone. So we’ve created a series of eye-care videos, each narrated by yours truly (I’m getting way too much YouTube time, and my kids are making fun of me) and offering tips on specific subjects: diet, eye protection, healthy habits and doctor visits.

The best way to get started is to watch the introductory video (below), then check out the rest of the series on the Foundation’s website. Once again, our intent with these videos is to help everyone, not just people affected by retinal degenerations, to acquire the knowledge necessary to sustain long-term healthy vision.

Enjoy the series, and let me know what you think.
