The diagnosis of a blinding disease is often overwhelming. But if you or a loved one has been recently diagnosed with an inherited retinal disease or age-related macular degeneration (AMD), getting connected to the Foundation Fighting Blindness is a great way to get educated, better manage your condition, and find support.

My name is Junco Norton and I suffer from AMD (dry) and glaucoma. Having completed a career in management, I have switched gears and now dedicate my time and energy to painting, a passion that I’ve nurtured since childhood. Having discovered the beauties of Japanese paper, especially the versatilities of rice paper for collage, I’ve been applying colors to rice paper and then collating it onto firm surfaces, rendering images with harmonious forms and tones so characteristic of Japanese artistic expression.
The urgent mission of the Foundation Fighting Blindness is to drive the research that will provide preventions, treatments and cures for people affected by retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, Usher syndrome and the entire spectrum of retinal degenerative diseases. The Foundation is a beacon for those affected by these blinding diseases. Join the fight and help us accelerate our mission.
The Foundation Fighting Blindness meets all 20 Better Business Bureau Charity Standards.
