American Macular Degeneration Foundation:

Age Related Macular degeneration (ARMD) blinds more Americans than cataracts and glaucoma combined.  With the population aging, we expect to see many more patients lose their sight to this terrible disease.  If you or someone in your family has this disease, please take the time to educate yourself about it.  Thirty years ago nothing could be done.  Now something can be done.
