Professor Linda Troeberg from the University of East Anglia joins us to discuss research updates her Macular Society research project looking into the development of treatments for Sorsby's fundus dystrophy, an inherited juvenile macular dystrophy.

Dr Ashley Wood and Vera Silva from Cardiff University join our My Macular and Me webinar to discuss new research into early age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Dr Wood’s team is developing technology to detect early changes in vision, especially difficulties adjusting to low light, which could help diagnose AMD sooner.

Elena Schiff is a genetic counsellor at Moorfields Eye Hospital and joins us to discuss what a genetic counsellor does, the chances of inheriting macular disease and the different genetic tests available. She will also cover what the results might mean, as well as the emotional impact that knowing this information can have.
