Working with you to improve macular disease outcomes
Macular Disease Foundation Australia works collaboratively with health professionals to improve health literacy around macular disease.
In this section of the website you’ll find webinars and CPD modules – for optometrists and orthoptists as well as pharmacists, diabetes educators and ophthalmic nurses – to improve your own understanding about macular disease.
You can also refer your age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients to our flagship patient support program, My Eyes, Australia’s first comprehensive and free support service for people living with AMD.
You’ll also find options in this section to order information resources – covering the full spectrum of macular diseases – that you can provide to patients. Resources are available in bulk quantities for health professionals.
