Fulfilling a dream: Ophthalmology researcher works to restore people’s vision

Having a close friend who was blind as a teenager gave Valeria Canto-Soler, PhD, a clear vision for her future. She wanted to help people with vision problems recover their sight. The associate professor of ophthalmology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine carried that interest into her biomedical sciences program at Austral University in Buenos Aires and then on to her job at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus, where the noted researcher is transforming the field of ophthalmology.
