Reading can be difficult for people with central vision loss, as damage to the macula affects natural eye movement - making reading slow, tiring, and less enjoyable. Our upcoming webinar will explore a new technique that moves text on a screen in a way that mimics how healthy eyes naturally scan and pause. This technique called Biomimetic Scrolling (BMS) is designed to make reading faster, easier, and more comfortable for people with sight loss.

Why do some people with vision loss experience hallucinations, while others do not?

What are clinical trials? How do they work and what role do they play in improving healthcare? Geraldine Hoad and Sarah Clinton from the Macular Society’s research team join us to discuss the types of trials currently taking place in the UK and how you could get involved.
