Thank you @SanfordBishop and @cathymcmorris for introducing the Faster Treatments and Cures for Eye Diseases Act, or #EyeBonds legislation. This unique bill would fund research to help millions of Americans who are blind or have severe vision impairments. https://t.co/hZSqQyjVf2

FFB Board Director Karen Petrou never let her #RP diagnosis stop her and she is now one of the most influential financial regulation experts in the world. She's also the architect of #EyeBonds, or the Faster Treatments and Cures for Eye Diseases Act. https://t.co/tLX9TQdb75

Reps. Fred Upton & Sanford Bishop wrote a powerful op-ed on the creation and need for #EyeBonds. They are part of a group of House members who are cosponsoring the Eye Bonds legislation that, upon becoming law, would finance #research for the entire #eye. https://t.co/66O5gHHcrd

12-year old David McGlohon is one of 3,000 people in North America with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome. FFB joins the McGlohon family in support of The #EyeBonds Bill (HR 6421), which if passed by Congress could dramatically increase funding for blindness research. https://t.co/8P8GpWJxje

The “Eye Bonds” bill creates a new financial instrument to support private loans available to eye/vision-focused entities pursuing translational research. The goal is to help cross “the valley of death.” https://t.co/gkP8GHDWxz #scipol #eyebonds
