The world is completely dark when I close my eyes. I can only hope that it is only temporary since I am unable to see everyone I care about. I can not appreciate the beauty of a setting rainbow, yellow sun, or brilliant stars on a summer night.
Your newborn baby, the love and life you invested in its little, ideal body, is beginning to lose its vision. In a few years, she or he will step into the realm of empty spaces. Like the majority of parents, you most likely don’t know someone who is blind. However, you do now. Infancy or early childhood sufferers of Leber’s congenital amaurosis (LCA), an inherited retinal disease, experience severe vision impairment. Lack of information causes a delay in the condition’s diagnosis. There is presently no treatment for it. – What’s next?

I really believe that we are capable of healing any illness and alleviating any kind of pain. I believe in offering complete treatment to those with uncommon diseases. What makes me an essential component of this vast ecosystem based on the study of life?
It is the original hypothesis that, if we can raise Key Opinion Leaders’ (KOLs’) knowledge of what it really means to be blind, the lengthy and expensive process of medication development could start to be enjoyable.
By introducing patients to KOLs, we raise engagement for everyone.

Should we provide more details about the importance of the essential needs, assistive technology, and white canes used by blind people?
– We’ll transform into innovative proponents of novelty. Should we emphasize how important guiding dogs are?
– We’ll keep in touch with our genuine emotional desires. Should we stress how important education and braille reading are?
– Visually healthy people provide themselves the chance to approach scientific problems differently and come up with fresh solutions. We allow for empathy while maintaining strong business & legal standards, making us exceptional innovators throughout the entire process of bringing breakthrough medicines to life.
