With macular degeneration now recognized as the leading cause of adult new blindness in the United States, there is much that needs to be done.
Current treatment can help relatively few people, and newer methods are urgently needed.
The answer lies in research. You have an opportunity to make a real difference by supporting macular degeneration research. Current support for the activities of the Center comes from the Macular Degeneration Center Fund, the George and Carolyn Goodall Foundation, the Joseph F. Paquet Fund, the Frances and Monroe Jubitz Fund, the Medical Research Foundation of Oregon, the Collins Trust, the Foundation Fighting Blindness, and Research to Prevent Blindness. How you can help Donations of any size for macular degeneration research are greatly appreciated. Last updated August 18, 2000.
