Advocacy Success Story: CNIB’s Right to Sight Campaign
“I’m glad CNIB is working with people like me and supporting people writing to the government. I think it’s a wonderful thing you are doing.”
- Nadia Lissog, age 79, who recently received a groundbreaking treatment for wet AMD, restoring vision in her right eye. In 2008, CNIB’s Right to Sight advocacy campaign successfully lobbied government decision-makers about this sight-saving treatment. The treatment was subsequently made available under the public health plan in Ontario where Nadia lives.
