AMDCentral.org is a newly launched website that assembles trusted information, tools, and resources to support the Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) patient and caregiver community. AMD is the leading cause of blindness in people over 65, and impacts over 20 million people worldwide. For many suffering AMD, managing life as they lose their sight can be overwhelming, and only made worse by trying to navigate the plethora of AMD content available online. Realizing there was an opportunity to improve this experience, patient advocacy groups created AMDCentral.org as the pre-eminent resource to help patients and caregivers more easily find AMD support in one place, and to help empower patients to take ownership of their eye condition as a catalyst to improve the way they handle their changing lives. Featuring a wide range of materials including clinical details and practical advice for living with low vision, the site also takes accessibility in mind, allowing users to alter display settings on both desktop and mobile, and resources are available both as print and audio files. Learn more at AMDCentral.org, and share with friends and loved ones who suffer from AMD.
