Episode two of our Patient Perspective series follows UK resident Pauline Beggs who is living with geographic atrophy (GA). GA is an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration.

In this episode, “Macular Degeneration, Through Pauline's Eyes,” Pauline shares intimate details of her disease progression. She speaks candidly about the loss of independence and what it means to have to have complete reliance on those closest to her. Most importantly, we understand from her perspective why it is important to find hope in the new therapies.

Pauline's journey is a reminder of why research and development in biotech is so important.
