Your responses suggest you would benefit from joining Eye Connect.
Living with a macular disease like age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or a diabetes-related eye condition can be challenging, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Eye Connect is a free, personalised support service from Macular Disease Foundation Australia designed to help you live well with your condition between visits to your eye health professional.
Why join Eye Connect?
Tailored Information: Receive evidence-based resources about macular disease to help you understand and manage your condition confidently.
Practical Advice: Get tips on nutrition, daily living with reduced vision, and navigating appointments and treatments.
Emotional Support: Access support to help you cope with the emotional aspects of living with macular disease.
I feel like I was finally being heard, like I wasn’t being rushed off or ignored. In that one hour, I learnt so much about AMD, things I hadn’t in the past 10 years. Thank you for everything, I finally feel lighter now.
