Hear directly from members of our community on their journeys with macular disease.
When Elisabeth’s mother was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), she knew that she was at high risk too.
Elisabeth kept a close eye on her vision, so when she developed AMD, it was detected early.
She has had great success with treatment for wet (neovascular) AMD, which has helped her everyday life.
Eye injections have helped Elisabeth maintain her sight. But the proposed cut to the Medicare rebate for this life-changing treatment would make it too expensive for 47,000 Australian patients. That gives us 47,000 Reasons to oppose the cut.
Leeloo, one of our dedicated Peer Support Facilitators, volunteers her time to helping build a space where people living with macular disease can connect and feel stronger. To close out another fantastic National Volunteer Week (#NVW2025), Leeloo shares what motivates her to contribute her time and energy to supporting our community.
May marks Macula Month, a national call to action for Australians to prioritise their eye health and take steps to prevent vision loss caused by macular disease.
