A Cure In Sight

A genetic disease that's causing Tina Marie Coles to go blind leads her to a doctor.
Tina Marie Coles could lose her sight to the degenerative eye disease Sorsby's fundus dystrophy. But UW's Dr. Jennifer Chao is leading the search for novel therapeutics to delay and eventually cure the disease. The study could also help researchers fight macular degeneration, which causes millions of people to lose their ability to see, read, and recognize faces as they age.
