16th Winter Charity Ball
Mother Teresa once said “It is not how much we give, but how much love we put into the giving!” If we take this quote and apply it to the warm and loving feeling that graced the ballroom during our 16th Winter Charity Ball on January 30th at the Chateau Briand in Westbury … we of OSIA certainly know how to give.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in people over 50 years of age. It is caused by the breakdown of the central portion of the retina (the highly sensitive part of your eye that works like the film in a camera to pick up the picture) called the macula. The macula is responsible for the fine central vision in the eye that is needed for driving a car, reading fine print, recognizing faces, etc. There are two types of macular degeneration: dry and wet. In the “wet” form of AMD, abnormal blood vessels grow in the back of the eye. Sometimes these vessels leak blood or fluid that causes blurred or distorted vision. Without treatment, vision loss may be quick and severe.
