Are you looking for help in your daily life?
Being diagnosed with a macular condition can leave you worrying about how you will cope with everyday tasks. You may be concerned about losing your independence and not being able to enjoy activities like reading. Having macular disease needn’t mean losing control of your life. There is plenty of support available from professional services and a growing range of equipment called ‘low vision aids’.
