MISSION STATEMENT

The American Macular Degeneration Foundation works for the prevention, treatment, and cure of macular degeneration through raising funds, educating the public and supporting scientific research.

The American Macular Degeneration Foundation is committed to the prevention and cure of macular degeneration and offers hope and support to those afflicted and their families. The Foundation will be a major voice in establishing the national research agenda for macular degeneration through promoting an alliance among the scientific community, government, and victims of the disease and their families to ensure the prevention and cure of the disease.

The AMDF newsletter is published quarterly and a DVD about the disease is available. The DVD features Don Knotts, Dabney Coleman and others who discuss living with macular degeneration.

Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness affecting more Americans than cataracts and glaucoma combined.
