We’ll focus on macular degeneration, a common cause of vision loss in older adults. Learn about risk factors and early signs, types of macular degeneration, and options for treatment. We’ll also share tips on how to keep your eyes healthy and protect your vision year-round. Come and get the information you need to take care of your eyes and maintain your sight.
