Recent Event: Save Sight Saturday
On Saturday, November 17th, the Bay Area Chapter hosted its annual Save Sight Saturday event at the UCSF-Parnassus campus. The meeting was attended by over 170 people and hosted four outstanding speakers that covered topics from retinal research in clinical trials to support groups and how to take action.
Dr. Jacque Duncan offered all attendees to contact her if they have further questions. She is also seeing patients who are interested in getting their genes tested. If you are interested in seeing her slides, please click here. Dr. Duncan can be reached at:

We also welcomed Dr. Daniel Palanker to speak and he gave a very interesting, informative discussion on retinal implants. To view more on his research, please visit the following sites:
