The mission of Macular Degeneration Association (MDA) is to find a cure for macular degeneration through disseminating research information, while providing education that will improve the quality of life TODAY, TOMORROW and in the FUTURE for patients, family members and their caregivers.

About

The Macular Degeneration Association funds research and educational programs. Our programs feature renowned expert speakers in the field of macular degeneration, offering FREE programs to the patients and their caregivers locally and nationally. We promote awareness of all visual diseases by means of local and national outreach, publish scientific research findings, advocate for scientific research and the rights of people with visual impairments, provide educational videos on our website for those that are homebound, produce a quarterly newsletter with the latest treatments, findings, information and helpful tips, and maintain a robust website. One of the principal missions of the Macular Degeneration Association that distinguishes us from other vision organizations is our focus on patient education - Knowledge is Power! The education focuses on empowering patients and their caregivers to live fuller and more comfortable lives with their vision diseases and challenges.
