Macular Degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in Australia.
Macular Degeneration Awareness Week is an annual event designed to raise awareness of macular degeneration and to encourage those most at risk, people over 50, to have their eyes tested and macula checked.
A free macular degeneration information kit is available from Macular Disease Foundation Australia by calling 1800 111 709 or visiting the Foundation's website.
