When Beverley Burdeyney turned seventy-four last year,she
started having problems with her eyes,notably dryness and
discomfort
"I was simply going through a terrible experience,"Ms.Burdeyney
said at her home in Toronto."I felt so helpless and insecure because
the quality of my life was affected.
Ms.Burdeyney talked to some friends who had similar problems
and discovered that they were largely suffering in silence."Nobody
chooses to talk about it because it seems so insignificant,"she said.
"But more and more are suffering and lives are being compromised.
Eventually,Ms.Burdeyney learned about plans for an eye
research program at Tel Aviv University in Israel.The research team
included Canadian doctor Allan Slomovic,who has done ground-
breaking work on eye care using stem cells.Seeing a ray of hope,Ms.
Burdeyney began raising money for the project with a friend,Toronto
businessman Meyer Zeifman.So far,she has raised $110,000 with
another $40,000 expected.
"I'm trying to get more and more people to understand that there
are solutions(解决办法),”said Ms.Burdeyney,a trained nurse who is
still working as a personal trainer after retirement."I say there is no
old age,there's only neglect )Don't stand still:do something
about it.”
Ms.Burdeyney added that she was hoping to do more for the
research project."I just want to bring light into people's eyes and
this is just the beginning.There is still a long way to go.
