We exist to Beat Macular Disease.

Thanks to your generosity, kindness and commitment to our common goal, you are bringing us closer to a cure. Your support means we can reach more people than ever and fund more groundbreaking research.

How we raise money

In an ageing population, more and more people are affected by macular disease. It is therefore more important than ever that we raise as much money as possible to fund research into treatments and to find a cure, as well as continuing to provide information and support for those with macular disease.

In 1987, Elizabeth Thomas was dismayed by the lack of support that she, and other people with macular disease, were offered. She founded the Macular Disease Society to help patients like her support each other.

We’re here for everyone with a macular condition. Our vision is to end macular disease – and this is how.

Our vision

We will end macular disease.

Research Strategy 2020 – 2030

We are one of the few sight loss charities that actively fund and support research into macular disease. Every year, the number of people losing their sight to macular disease rises – and as their sight fades, too many of them are overcome by frustration, grief, fear and isolation.

Thank you for supporting the Macular Society, and being part of our mission to Beat Macular Disease.

Research – including projects that you’ve helped to fund – is getting closer to a cure every year. With your continued support, we will end macular disease, and the isolation, loneliness and frustration that so often come with it.

Three charities, the Macular Society, Blind Veterans UK and Sight Scotland Veterans have come together to transform the funding of research on age-related macular disease (AMD).
