Macular Degeneration Awareness Week Education Sessions

The MD Foundation organised a number of special education events across Australia to celebrate MD Awareness Week. Our leading Ophthalmologists, working on behalf of the MD Foundation, spoke to hundreds of people across five states.

MD Awareness Week kicked off with a captivating presentation in Brisbane by Dr David Hilford.

Down south in Hobart, consulting Ophthalmologist at the Hobart Eye Clinic, and world renowned specialist Dr Nitin Verma shared his knowledge on MD.

For the first time, Dr Jagjit Singh Gilhotra presented on behalf of the MD Foundation in Adelaide.

Across the country, leading Perth surgeon Dr Dimitri Yellachich shared his knowledge on MD. Dr Yellachich commented, "I really enjoy working with the MD Foundation each year to educate people and their families about MD."

An exciting and informative presentation on MD was made by our dedicated Patron Ita Buttrose, along with MD Foundation Director Dr Paul Beaumont to over 350 people in Sydney.

Thanks to all involved for their time and effort in making this event such a huge success!
