Oftalmólogos pediátricos y de adultos en EE. UU.

Muchas personas dicen haber empleado muchos años antes de que se les diagnosticara el MCA. Esto se debe al hecho de que el MCA es una enfermedad poco común y, por lo tanto, es necesario dirigirse a centros oftalmológicos especializados en enfermedades hereditarias de la retina.

A continuación enumeramos algunos oftalmólogos que han visitado a enfermos de MCA o que han trabajado en la investigación clínica sobre el MCA y enfermedades similares.

En concreto, algunos oftalmólogos están llevando a cabo investigación financiada por nuestra fundación y han sido elegidos por sus conocimientos e interés respecto al MCA.
