Team Stein Eye participated again this past October as a lead sponsor for the 16th annual Foundation Fighting Blindness VisionWalk at Crescent Bay Park in Santa Monica, Saturday, October 29, 2022. The event, supported by both the Stein Eye Institute employees and volunteers, raises funds each year for retinal eye disease research.

“This year’s team represented a wonderful cross section of the Stein Eye Institute”, noted SEI faculty member Dr. Roxana Radu. “Vision science staff, volunteers, and their family members (dogs included!) all joined together to raise funds for vision research.”  The Foundation Fighting Blindness is a non-profit organization committed to funding research to prevent, treat and cure retinal degenerative eye diseases. As a lead sponsor of VisionWalk, the Stein Eye Institute has participated in research on a number of inherited retinal diseases and received grants for continued study of vision loss treatment and prevention.
