Diagnosis and treatment
Learn about how macular disease is diagnosed. The optometrist at your local optician’s practice can test sight, prescribe glasses and check for early signs of eye disease using photography or other imaging. It is important to get your eyes checked at least every two years.
Support for you
We provide free information and support to those with macular disease, along with their family and friends, to help people keep their independence.
