The Macular Degeneration Association(MDA) created informative and necessary educational programs for those affected by macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema.

All programs feature experts in the field of retina, providing information about risk factors, genetic predisposition, proper diagnosis, new treatment options, research information, clinical trials and new drug advances. Participants are given a chance to interact with the doctor and ask questions. They are also able to share their challenges and successes with the other attendees.
