Last week Bhavna attended the United in Vision 2026 Conference in Fort Worth, Texas, which brought together two leading events, the Foundation Fighting Blindness VISIONS Conference and the Retina International World Congress, into one global gathering.
Over two inspiring and impactful days, attendees heard about the latest research advancements, emerging therapies, and the hope they bring for future treatments. The conference was also a powerful reminder of the importance of connection, collaboration, and working together to drive progress for the community.
One of the many highlights included meeting inspiring advocates Sam Seavey of The Blind Life and Brad Manning from Two Blind Brothers. Having the opportunity to speak with them personally and share how meaningful their advocacy, mission, and support are to the community was truly memorable.
A huge thank you to Foundation Fighting Blindness and Retina International for hosting such an outstanding event. We left feeling energized, inspired, and excited about what the future holds.
