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.
