Macular Society


The Macular Society is a UK charity for anyone affected by central vision loss.
Many of the charity's members have age-related macular degeneration, but its services are open to people with a variety of retinal conditions including myopic macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and inherited retinal dystrophies such as Stargardt disease, Best disease and Sorsby fundus dystrophy.
The society coordinates activities across the UK from headquarters in Andover, Hampshire. Its core ambition is to beat macular disease through funding research, providing a range of support services, and raising awareness of eye health.
