For Macula Month we were delighted to welcome our community of supporters to the Melbourne Town Hall for our Healthy Ageing Eyes Community Forum to share the latest research and insights into glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and corneal surgery.
Tune in to hear from:
- Dr Flora Hui on how a common supplement could help galucoma,
- Professor Robyn Guymer AM on emerging treatments for dry AMD,
- Professor Mark Daniell on making corneal surgery easier,
- and Dr Heather Machin on the special gift of eye donation.
We're leading the expedition to explore age-related macular degeneration. Will you help us to resource the next phase of our exploration?
