Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in the UK, just another reason to have regular eye exams with your local optometrist
It’s Low Vision and AMD (Age-Related Macular Degeneration) Awareness Month!
Living with reduced vision is not just about eye disease. It’s about how vision loss affects everyday life, from reading and driving to confidence and independence.
Community optometrists play a key role in identifying people who may benefit from low vision support and helping them access practical advice, aids and services closer to home.
Early conversations matter. If vision is affecting daily activities, support can make a real difference.
