Featured Volunteer:
“Hope!” was the one word answer given by Caroline Saltzman when asked why she joined the Foundation Fighting Blindness and subsequently became the president of the board of directors for the Los Angeles chapter. The hope and the answers Caroline was looking for were not for herself but for her granddaughter, Genevieve. “Genvi” as she is called by family and friends had always been myopic, but the correction offered by her optometrist was suddenly not working. Moving from doctor to doctor there was no definitive diagnosis. A brain tumor was considered at one point. Finally, it was suggested that Genvi see a retinal specialist. This doctor quickly diagnosed Stargardt disease.
