Review for Umkc Research Foundation, Kansas City, MO, USA
The Vision Research Center is such a valuable organization for the Kansas City community and beyond. As our society grows older, vision problems are on the rise, and the people of the Vision Research Center are so dedicated to finding a cure, treatment, or procedue that will allow people to either see better, or to arrest the eye disease causing blindness. The research being conducted at the Vision Research Center is quality and will benefit so many people.
