Researchers across Australia and the world are striving to find new ways to detect, treat and cure macular diseases.
Macular Disease Foundation Australia is the largest non-government source of research funds for macular disease in Australia. Our commitment to research recognises its importance to our core purpose, that is, reducing the impact and incidence of macular disease. This is possible only with the support of generous donors.
MDFA also recognises the keen interest in research shown by the macular disease community. In this section you’ll find updates on the latest research developments. There is also information on our Research Grants Program.
