MLV FOUNDATION - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- President
- Our President and Founder
Our President and Founder, Debbie Sanders, was flagged as a Glaucoma suspect back in 2003. By 2011, after complaining to her eye doctor at that time about people sometimes standing at her desk and her not even knowing they were there, a visual field test was given and indeed confirmed she had Glaucoma with significant vision loss. She found a specialist at Dean McGee Eye Institute and together with her new eye doctor, they began a very aggressive treatment plan to lower her IOP and to try to slow the progression of vision loss. By 2013, Debbie was declared legally blind with her peripheral vision gone.
