Local support groups
Our local groups across the UK offer practical and emotional support to people with macular disease from people with macular disease. They can help you to further understand your condition, come to terms with sight loss, share information about treatment and ultimately stay independent. Groups meet regularly; invite guest speakers; run social events; arrange outings and holidays; fundraise; help raise awareness of macular disease; get involved in campaigns and work with local eye care professionals.
