Dr. Jordi Monés will be participating in the 2nd World Vision Day Conference: “Researching Today Means Curing Tomorrow”

Dr. Jordi Monés, MD, PhD, a Medical Director and ophthalmologist specialised in the macula, retina and the vitreous body of the eye at the Institut de la Màcula, will be giving a conference on retinal research. The second science and outreach conference hosted by Visión España—in cooperation with the Magna Myopia Association (AMIRES)—in celebration of World Vision Day, which falls on the second Thursday of October each year. The talks will be held on Monday, 13 October, at the Hospital Clínico in Madrid.

In his lecture, titled “Investigación en DMAE: exudativa y atrófica. Ensayos Clínicos y pre-Clínicos” (“AMD Research: Exudative and Atrophic. Clinical and Pre-Clinical Trials”), Dr. Jordi Monés will be presenting the progress that is currently being made in retinal disease research.

Visión España is a non-profit organisation that was born out of the need to join forces to fight against the eye diseases that cause low vision. The association aims to raise public awareness of the more than one million people in Spain who suffer from low vision, while working to help them normalise their situation and improve their personal independence.
