When Anne Beidler began to notice changes in her vision, she feared the worst: she'd watched her mother lose her sight from macular degeneration. 

But Dr. Atma Vemulakonda, at the UW Medicine Eye Institute, was able to treat Anne by injecting a new drug into her eye that began to improve her vision within hours. 

The institute is leading research efforts to improve treatment for eye diseases and also training the next generation of ophthalmologists at the University of Washington's School of Medicine.
