About the Association
In the winter of 1978, a group of individuals with macular problems met in Garden City, New York, to discuss their common difficulties. They organized a not-for-profit corporation to promote education and research in this scarcely-explored field.
Today this association acts as a nationwide support group for individuals and their families endeavoring to adjust to the restrictions and changes brought about by macular disease.
Our workspace at the Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital is donated by The Macula Foundation, Inc. (headed by Dr. Lawrence Yannuzzi) and supported by the generosity of the LuEsther T. Mertz Retinal Research Center.
Members keep in touch not only with the New York office but with each other, by mail, by E-mail, or by telephone. When need is urgent the New York office has a hotline for members' calls.
