The Retina Foundation of the Southwest

The Retina Foundation of the Southwest is having an auction. I'm partial to them, since they are doing research on retinal issues, such as achromatopsia. What if they found a way to make the achromatopsia retina function normally? Many people are asking that question. My daughter is one of them. It would change everything. She wonders if perhaps she'd have to set up one room in her house that was all black, white, and shades of grey, just to remain sane. Would color be distracting and confusing at first? She doesn't know, since her whole life she's never seen color. But she and many others with achromatopsia say they are willing to take the chance.

If the Retina Foundation can assist that process, then I'm all for it. I support their efforts, and urge all of you to visit their website: www.retinafoundation.org. And if you can, attend the auction. It looks like it should be a lot of fun.
