My Nonprofit Reviews

I follow the Macular Degeneration Association on FaceBook. When they post macular articles that are relevant to me, I will read the article and then sometimes share it with family members. I also share some of their posts about general eye care with my FB “friends.”

My Mother has been diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration. I currently follow MDA on FaceBook and when I see a post that is relevant to my Mother or other family members, I research it and often post it or share on FaceBook. The MDA website was the first place I searched when my Mother was first diagnosed and I shared many articles with my family. Also, I currently go to their website whenever there are changes to my Mom's eyesight. I researched cataract surgery for someone with AMD and their information helped me decide what the right course of action for my Mother would be. They have provided valuable information for us to understand the diagnosis, how to help my Mother handle it, and what the future holds.
