The GA Won\u2019t Wait\u2122 campaign helps older adults and their families understand and recognize the symptoms of this progressive and irreversible disease. Together, Apellis and Winkler are empowering people over the age of 60 to monitor and discuss vision changes with an eye doctor, such as a retina specialist, ophthalmologist, or optometrist.<\/p>\n<p>Winkler has personally seen how vision loss caused by AMD can affect an individual and their loved ones. His father-in-law Ed, with whom he shared a close relationship, was diagnosed with AMD, causing him to lose his central vision and, ultimately, his independence. As his vision loss progressed, Winkler recognized that aspects of his father-in-law\u2019s everyday life became increasingly difficult, such as continuing his career in dentistry and eventually simple tasks like pouring a glass of water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRemembering my father-in-law Ed\u2019s struggle with AMD is why I am partnering with Apellis to help older adults and their families become aware of GA. I saw firsthand how profoundly isolating vision loss may be for older adults,\u201d said Winkler. \u201cThough I am now around the same age as Ed when his vision started to decline, I have no plans to slow down. I am so passionate about prioritizing my eye health that I would carry my car to the eye doctor if I started to notice a change in my vision. That\u2019s how on top of it you have to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GA is a leading cause of blindness worldwide that impacts approximately one million people in the United States.<sup>1<\/sup><sup>,<\/sup><sup>2 <\/sup> Vision symptoms tend to get worse over time and the damage cannot be reversed or corrected with glasses or surgery. Symptoms include blurry or missing spots in a person\u2019s vision, straight lines seeming wavy, and difficulty seeing in the dark. These symptoms often cause people with GA to lose the ability to take on daily tasks such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a common misconception that significant vision loss is a natural part of aging, which can cause patients to delay in seeking out important care,\u201d said Caroline Baumal, M.D., chief medical officer, Apellis. \u201cAn early diagnosis is critical for this progressive disease, so we are thrilled to be working with Henry Winkler to help older adults learn about GA and reinforce that eye health should be prioritized as we age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To learn more, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=kuhlu1JfAvhxaq8hqRaqJCiDI__FOUWNNI_o-5WjS2WX2Az2mmxxa_YKjE6gWnR11O5dnU4dtaaOHB2GPV62Xg==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GAwontwait.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <u>About Apellis<\/u><br \/>\n        <\/strong>\u00a0<br \/>Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a global biopharmaceutical company that combines courageous science and compassion to develop life-changing therapies for some of the most challenging diseases patients face.
