Macular Society Virtual Annual Conference

[Becky_MacularSociety]

We’re taking our conference online! Wherever you are, join us for expert talks on the latest in treatments and research. With tailored sessions for those with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and another for those with inherited retinal diseases and of working age, this virtual conference has something for everyone. It’s free and no need to register.

Join us for the entire day, morning or afternoon session or just drop in for one talk.

We’re disappointed not to see you in person, but due to the coronavirus outbreak we felt that it would be safer not to gather in Birmingham as we had originally planned.

What you need to know beforehand:

- It’s free and there is no need to register, or download any software onto your PC or tablet.

- On the day itself, simply return to this page and you’ll find the link to view the conference.

- Only the speakers will be on your screen; in audio and video. You won’t need a camera or a microphone to speak into, just a way to listen to the talks online.

Members will be sent more information about the AGM and how to take part in August.

Can’t join us live? Catch up later and watch talks at your leisure. After the event, we’ll update this page with all the details

I would appreciate some discussion in the future regarding EYE HEALTH EDUCATION. This site has been helpful, but certified eye educators would be beneficial for eye diagnoses. The eye is a mystery! When you receive a diagnosis it can truly throw you for a loop. Having someone with the time to help with understanding basic information should be a big help to MD doing shot, who you see for maybe 5 minutes.

Thank you, healthunlocked site and folks who post their stories. I have learned most of my helpful information from you.
