Welcome to the latest edition of Vision Voice.
Macular Disease Foundation Australia (MDFA) has welcomed the Federal Government’s decision to defer the private health insurance reclassification of intravitreal (eye) injections from 1 July 2025 to 1 July 2026 and undertake further consultation.
We have released new research in collaboration with the University of New South Wales which has revealed the median total cost for people living with macular disease, who also receive sight-saving eye injections, is 12 percent* ($3,621) of the annual government pension payment.

Macular Disease Foundation Australia calls on the next Federal Government to bulk-bill sight-saving eye injections for pensioners; with the potential for creating a $140 million cost-saving per year.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approval of the new eye injection treatment SYFOVRE® (pegcetacoplan) is welcome news, as it will give many people with Geographic Atrophy a treatment option that they’ve never had before to slow the progression of the disease.
This is our annual research focused edition. In it you will find information about new macular disease treatments, geographic atrophy and innovations being explored to treat, preserve or improve sight.
