The Macular Disease Society is a self-help society for those diagnosed with any of the eye conditions encompassed by the overall name of Macular Disease.

The Society is dedicated to providing information and practical support so that those with the condition may make the most of their remaining vision.

We produce a quarterly magazine, Side View, written by members for members and this is available in large print or on audio tape. Its content is wide ranging and includes articles on Macular Disease, low vision aids, the latest developments in Macular Disease research and news from our UK wide group of members.

Our Annual Review for 2009 is now available:

We have a nationwide network of locally-run support groups around the UK. Our total membership is over 16,000. This includes members in 28 countries outside the UK.

In addition to its prime purpose of providing support for members, the Society actively promotes research into Macular Degeneration by funding research projects at UK hospitals.

Several conferences are held each year at various locations around the UK to enable our members to hear of the latest developments from acknowledged experts in the field of Macular Disease.
