๐๏ธโ๐จ๏ธ We celebrate Macular Diseases Awareness this week to raise the awareness of macular diseases. Macular Disease is a leading cause of vision loss in adults over 60. This week, we're shedding light on AMD to help you protect your precious sight.
โข Early detection saves sight. With prompt diagnosis and treatment, the progression of macular diseases can be slowed or, in some cases, halted entirely.
โข Many cases go unnoticed. It is estimated that up to half of those with AMD or diabetic maculopathy are unaware they have the condition.
โข Prevention is possible. Healthy lifestyle choices, regular eye examinations, and risk factor management can prevent or delay the onset of certain macular conditions.
In conjunction with the Week, join our free public forum โSeeing the Bigger Picture: Preventing and Living with Age-related Eye Diseasesโ on 27 September 2025; with senior consultant ophthalmologist Dr. Christine Yau, International Eye Cataract Retina Centre where she will speak on the silent signs of macular disease, how to spot early symptoms and what are prevention strategies to protect your vision, as well as living well with eye disease.
