The Macular Society is a UK charity that offers support to anyone affected by central vision loss. Many of the charity's members have age-related macular degeneration (AMD), but its services are open to people with various retinal conditions, including myopic macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and inherited retinal dystrophies like Stargardt disease, Best disease, and Sorsby fundus dystrophy. The society coordinates activities across the UK from its headquarters in Andover, Hampshire. Its primary goal is to combat macular disease by funding research, providing a range of support services, and raising awareness of eye health.
