Macular Degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in Australia. Macular Degeneration Awareness Week - 25 May to 31 May 2014 - 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 pack is available from the Macular Disease Foundation Australia by calling 1800 111 709.
