“The work we do to advance treatments and cures for blinding retinal diseases is so important, and the momentum is palpable,” Menzo told Healio/OSN. “I am excited for us to continue engaging the blind and low vision community through our national chapter network and find more innovative ways to partner with eye care professionals and industry to accelerate our mission.”

Menzo joined the foundation in 2018 and played an important role in redefining the organization’s operations, including fiscal, fundraising, communications and managerial operations, according to the release. Menzo was also part of the founding of the Retinal Degeneration Fund and is one of the co-founders of Opus Genetics.
