To assist you with information on how to take care of your eyes through this bushfire season, and also how to ensure you maintain eye health treatment and access to services, we have developed information sheets. If you require additional support, call our National Helpline on 1800 111 709.
Our thoughts go out to all those affected by the bushfires that have taken grip of our country. There are so many in our community who are being directly and indirectly affected, and we hope at this time that you are safe and well.
For those undergoing anti VEGF injections for AMD, we encourage you to maintain your treatment, and to contact the Foundation should you have any problems accessing your eye health professional. We are here to help in this time of crisis.
