What research is being conducted?

Retina International  supports extensive multi-disciplinary research programmes in an effort to find the causes prevention, and possible treatment for Macular Degeneration and other forms of retinal degenerations. Researches studying retinal degenerative diseases may contribute to the understanding of others so that, for example, research related to RP may also benefit those with Macular Degeneration. Information from research projects is shared with others in the field in order to advance the goal of understanding all forms of retinal degeneration.

if you have an inherited early onset Macular Degeneration you or your children may want to join our gene tracking project. Contact Retina South Africa for more details. Those individuals with AMD should have regular care and examinations by their eye care professional.
