“The Magnifier” is the Foundation’s free 8-page newsletter. In addition to timely news, it focuses on practical ways of coping with low vision offered by individuals and healthcare professionals familiar with the challenges. It is produced several times a year and made available online as both downloadable PDF files and streaming audio. You may access the archived issues and subscribe to receive email alerts when new issues are first published at this link: Newsletter .

FOUNDATION “REPORTS“

REPORTS are essays and short stories related to macular degeneration. Some Reports are summaries of published articles. Others are contributed by healthcare professionals on a variety of subjects.

We also invite people like you to submit their own stories … especially stories that may be an encouragement to others living with the challenges of low vision.

For your convenience, each Report is assigned to a searchable category. Please visit our REPORTS section often or take advantage of our “ALERTS” as described below.
