Macular degeneration is the least understood and also the least researched of all the eye diseases.
The MDF's core commitment as an organization is to the structuring and supporting the conduct of focused research executed by the finest talent available. Our overall research priorities are framed by those of our colleagues at the National Eye Institute - that division of the National Institutes of Health responsible for Federal supported eye research in the United States. In desperation, people with macular degeneration are willing to try almost anything, and almost anything is offered, sometimes for a very steep price. Our goal is to find real solutions to macular degeneration for its victims. To deliver real solutions to macular degeneration as soon as possible we encourage you to support the MDF Research for Real Solutions Program .
