Press & Media Relations

Welcome to the Macular Disease Society press & media site.

MD is currently at the heart of many complex, significant and controversial stories in the media relating to heath care rationing and the emergence of new and contentious treatments such as stem cell therapies.  We hope the information here is useful.  You are free to use the images on these pages.  We would appreciate an acknowledgement when pictures are reproduced. 

On this site you will find:

1. Facts and figures about MD and useful links
2. Information about the Macular Disease Society
3. A macular disease glossary
4. 3 images showing the progression of MD: 1 2 3
5. An image of the eye showing the position of the macula
6. Our logo
