Metro New York Vision Connection

Join us for an enriching and supportive gathering of the blinding disease community. Our VisionConnect offers light refreshments, exceptional programs, and engaging Q&A sessions designed to inform and connect individuals affected by retinal diseases and age related macular degeneration. 

Program Highlights: 

Educational Presentations: Hear from distinguished guest speakers who provide valuable education and raise public awareness about the latest advances in research. Topics include clinical trials, genetic testing, inherited retinal diseases, AMD, low vision/vision rehabilitation, and coping with progressive vision loss. 

Interactive Q&A Sessions: Each presentation is followed by an interactive Q&A session, offering attendees the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with experts in the field. 

Community Fundraising:

We are committed to fostering a grassroots movement that engages volunteers in their local markets. Our VisionConnect plays a crucial role, serving as the kickoff for our VisionWalks, and encouraging the community to raise funds to support research aimed at saving and restoring sight for those affected by vision-robbing retinal diseases. Through collective efforts, we drive the vital research needed to find effective treatments and cures. 

Community Engagement: Our community comes together regularly, united by a common interest—finding effective treatments and cures for retinal disease. These gatherings provide a supportive environment for sharing experiences, knowledge, and hope. 

Get Involved: 

Whether you are looking to attend, volunteer, or support our cause, we welcome your involvement. Join us in our efforts to drive vital research and make a difference in the lives of those affected by retinal diseases.
