You know, awareness takes many forms in the AMD community. It's very important to obviously understand the signs and symptoms of dry macular degeneration and even wet macular degeneration. I think they unfortunately don't get talked about enough. Most recently, I think there has been more awareness for obvious reasons, 'cause we do have treatments in and around these conditions, as well as many patients undergoing clinical studies. Yet again, I think there is a chance for us to keep improving the communication lines both with our colleagues, our optometry and general ophthalmology referral services, as well as our patients who may come in with these sort of blinding conditions and being able to manage them appropriately.
