Carine Fraser, a member of Retina South Africa, and a sufferer of low-vision loss, is preparing to complete the final 258 km of the Camino Francés from 12–28 June 2026. And you can support her: https://mailchi.mp/retinasa/honour-a-loved-one-on-the-camino-francs?utm_source=Mastodon

All funds raised go directly to Retina South Africa, to help research and develop treatments for retinal diseases.

Imagine receiving a 50-page report full of  tables and charts that your screen reader just can't navigate properly. A few years ago, that document might have stayed out of reach. Today, AI changes  everything.
