Losing Sight, Finding Hope – Living with Macular Degeneration

© 2025 American Macular Degeneration Foundation

A Documentary About Living with Vision Loss from Macular Degeneration

From macular degeneration diagnosis, to losing sight, to new ways of living and hope for the future – five patients share their stories, their vulnerabilities, and the wisdom they’ve gained through their journey living with vision loss from macular degeneration.

Expert guests shed light on what we know about macular degeneration, and provide hope for what can be done now, and what’s coming in the future.
