Posted By admin On

We’re pleased to share the latest edition of our Vision Voice newsletter. This is a special edition as we celebrate our 25th anniversary – a milestone that belongs to our entire community. The macular disease community has always been at the heart of everything we do and will continue to guide our work in the future.  

You can download the newsletter here on our website or listen to the audio version by calling our National Helpline on 1800 111 709 and selecting option 4 when prompted. 

We hope you find this edition both informative and enjoyable.   

What’s inside this edition:   

  • The launch of the new Eye Connect Healthcare Award where you can nominate an eye care professional who has made a meaningful difference in your life. 
  • A recent win for community advocacy and our ongoing fight for access to affordable sight-saving treatment. 
  • Grants valued at a total of $300,000 awarded to two groundbreaking research projects aligned with community priorities. 
  • A celebration of our 25th anniversary with events in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and Newcastle. 
  • An article exploring the potential of smart glasses as an assistive technology for people living with macular disease.  

There’s plenty more to explore in this issue of Vision Voice.
