About Stella Black

Free Talks across the UK - Central Vision Loss and Eye Health

The Macular Society is a national charity that provides support and information to anyone with a diagnosis of Macular Disease. Often people go away from appointments with little information and are apprehensive about the future. We have knowledge and services to help.

It is very important to keep your eyes healthy, to do all you can to prevent sight loss as you grow older. We will give you advice and information.

We want to beat the fear and isolation of macular disease by funding research to find new and better treatments, and one day a cure.
