ABOUT DR. BLODI’S RESEARCH:

Dr. Blodi’s clinical practice and research focus on macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and other retinal diseases. She leads an ongoing age-related eye disease study that looks into the effects of supplements ‭in the treatment of macular degeneration, among other studies. Dr. Blodi’s ‭research has given us a better understanding of macular degeneration and ‭helped develop different treatment options for retinal diseases. This has ‭saved sight for people affected by these blinding diseases.

Saving sight is the most important part of our mission. The Department of Ophthalmology ‭and Visual Sciences at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health is devoted to preserving and protecting vision. This program ‭is one more way to keep you informed. ‭The Saving Sight Sessions are a series of ‭community education programs created to share discoveries and developments to stop ‭blinding diseases, enhance treatment and ‭improve vision-related quality of life. ‭Please join us as we share the ways we are ‭transforming eye care.
