How we raise and spend money
Our impact
How we raise money
In an ageing population, more and more people are affected by macular disease. It is therefore more important than ever that we raise as much money as possible to fund research into treatments and to find a cure, as well as continuing to provide information and support for those with macular disease.
Our history
Our organisation
In 1987, Elizabeth Thomas was dismayed by the lack of support that she, and other people with macular disease, were offered. She founded the Macular Disease Society to help patients like her support each other.

Who we are

Our research strategy
What we do
Research Strategy 2020 – 2030
We are one of the few sight loss charities that actively fund and support research into macular disease. Every year, the number of people losing their sight to macular disease rises – and as their sight fades, too many of them are overcome by frustration, grief, fear and isolation.
Our supporter promise
What we do
Thank you for supporting the Macular Society, and being part of our mission to Beat Macular Disease.
Research – including projects that you’ve helped to fund – is getting closer to a cure every year. With your continued support, we will end macular disease, and the isolation, loneliness and frustration that so often come with it.
