A public meeting is being held in the Conrad Hotel, Dublin on Monday 22nd September where Dr John Nolan, Waterford Institute of Technology, will make a presentation on AMD and the developments that have been made in managing the condition including supplementation and advances in screening as well as treatment options. Two members of the public will also be talking about their own experiences of managing with the condition.
Two separate talks will be held at 3.30 pm and 7.30 pm, respectively.

Early detection is vital in the fight against AMD and it is important to have regular eye exams. An early diagnosis may mean that treatment can prevent further deterioration of the remaining vision. NCBI recommends everyone gets their eyes tested every two years.

If you have already been affected by AMD, NCBI can provide assistance and support which will enable you to continue to overcome the challenges you may be facing and to continue to live independently.
