If you have a retinal ailment, or your family member has been diagnosed with one, you should consider joining us, as we work towards strengthening the patient alliance, and building a cohesive joint effort between patients and physician researchers to facilitate clinical trials, spur research and development and develop newer treatments for retinal disorders in India.
