{Kentucky}...Dr. Geneva Matlock, of San Clemente, California, a retired anesthesiologist and graduate of the University of Louisville School of Medicine, has given $4 million to U of L to fund research in macular degeneration. In the past three years, Matlock has given a total of more than $5 million to U of L. Matlock was diagnosed with wet macular degeneration 10 years ago, but through treatment has retained her vision. Matlock’s mother, who died at the age of 99, was blind for the last decade of her life. Though she was never officially diagnosed with macular degeneration, her family believes she may have suffered from the disease.
