Macular Society
Macular disease is the main cause of sight loss in the
developed world. And the Macular Society is fighting to bring an end to it.
We
help people cope with the devastating effects of macular conditions and fund
world-class research to find a cure. We rely completely on the generous
donations of people like you.聽
Rebuilding confidence
The Society鈥檚 telephone befriending service helps people isolated by sight loss like Zetta to feel less alone - you will hear her story in the appeal.
Funding research
Dr Luminita Paraoan in the lab at University of Liverpool, working on a project to discover how age-related macular degeneration (AMD) develops. Her team鈥檚 work could bring us closer to a new treatment to reduce or prevent sight loss in the future.
Training volunteers
Volunteer Gadget Guides help people with macular disease adapt to living with the condition. This demonstration, in London, features just a few of the thousands of people who have discovered how they can use technology to read, keep up with their family and maintain their independence.
Stem cell research into macular disease
We fund research into new treatments for macular disease. PhD student at University College London William Letton, working on a Macular Society funded stem cell project to define the role of a specific gene in the progression of Best鈥檚 disease, a type of macular disease which can develop in childhood.
