St Peter's Women's Fellowship
Bringing women to and sustaining faith

Our meeting of Women's Fellowship on the 27th May 09 was a talk was on Macular Degeneration by David Morris

 
 

It was a very interesting talk on a subject we should all make ourselves well aware.

Have you seen the advert about AMD on the television? It is the most common cause of visual impairment in the developed world. In the UK 250,000 people are registered visually impaired due to the condition and roughly the same are affected by it to a lesser degree.

A couple of our ladies suffer from MD

For further information, see the website:- http://www.maculardisease.org/ they have a help line 0845 241 2041

On the website you can also find a simple test to indicate the onset of MD called the Amsler Grid.

Although there was a question time afterwards, the speaker, David, was busy afterwards with some ladies wanting to talk to him on a one to one basis or in a small group.

The bring and buy was busy and the retiring collection was a reasonable amount which is going to the Macular Disease Society.

We gave the speaker a personal little thank you voucher.
