Pam & Colin live in a close-knit community in Gippsland. Fortunately, their children are close by as the couple both live with different forms of #AMD

No one should have to live with an unclear future. Donate today so we can give hope to those with AMD:

While injections can stop abnormal blood vessel growth in wet AMD, eyecare professionals manage dry AMD via lifestyle changes & check-ups.

In the near future, it's hoped people will be diagnosed with dry AMD earlier & have clear pathways to treatments.
