About Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Diabetic Retinopathy (DR)1,2,3
The macula is a small area of the retina facilitating detailed, central vision, and AMD and DR are the two leading causes of vision loss in people over and under the age of 65, respectively. Millions of Canadians are afflicted with these debilitating conditions which damage the macula and threaten independence by removing one's ability to read, drive, and recognize faces.
