When Yvette Crawley was diagnosed with macular telangiectasia type 2, a disease that slowly takes away vision, she feared losing the independence she valued in retirement. Research created a new path forward, with a new implant tested in part at Duke that's helping preserve Yvette's vision. Yvette's story is part of Faces of Research, highlighting North Carolinians living life fully thanks to health care backed by innovative research, supported by federal funding. https://lnkd.in/ecAZqEKk Duke University Health System | Duke Eye Center | Duke University School of Medicine
