AMD is a progressive eye condition that affects millions of people around the world. This disease affects our sharp central vision as it attacks the eye macula. This results in people seeing dim images when watching TV, reading, driving and performing other daily tasks.

For active and independent people, developing AMD greatly impacts their lives as daily and normal activities become challenging. Age is a leading cause for this disease with AMD being the number cause of severe vision loss in adults.

The development of newer forms of AMD has been a catalyst to informing the public to become more aware about this eye condition and what treatment options are available.

The AMD week has been dubbed’ Keep Your Eye On the Ball’ and will have a GAA launch event at Croke Park.

Notable spokesperson in attendance will be Mary Kennedy. She is a well renowned personality and has been actively involved in all aspects of AMD.
