We provide information and life-changing support to those with macular disease in Northern Ireland, along with their family and friends, to ensure people can retain their independence.

Our eye sight is precious. People fear sight loss more than serious illnesses like diabetes or the loss of a limb. The cost of sight loss to individuals and to society as a whole is vast. Yet eye research is a low priority and as a result is shockingly underfunded.

Our people are one of our biggest strengths – find out about the people who make up the Macular Society.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Macular Society, helping to reach out to thousands of people. Many of our volunteers are visually impaired themselves and they tell us how volunteering has turned something that could have been very negative, into something positive. With roles to suit everyone, get in touch and see how you can meet new people and make a real difference to their lives.

The Macular Society is proud to have the following patrons.

We exist to Beat Macular Disease.

Thanks to your generosity, kindness and commitment to our common goal, you are bringing us closer to a cure. Your support means we can reach more people than ever and fund more groundbreaking research.

How we raise money

In an ageing population, more and more people are affected by macular disease. It is therefore more important than ever that we raise as much money as possible to fund research into treatments and to find a cure, as well as continuing to provide information and support for those with macular disease.
