This website is designed to provide you with information about Age-related Macular Degeneration (commonly referred to as AMD). It describes what AMD is, as well as how it affects your vision and how to identify the signs and symptoms of the condition. It will also tell you what you should do if you have any concerns, or if you want more detailed information about AMD.

This website has been developed by the Irish Ophthalmic Health Advisory Board (IOHAB). The IOHAB is a multi-disciplinary group of health professionals, including representatives from Ophthalmology, Optometry, General Practice and related bodies. The group was established in 2004 to improve awareness, education and management of AMD and other eye conditions.

We hope you find this website interesting and useful, and a helpful resource for information on this serious eye condition.

Yours sincerely,

Marie Hickey Dwyer
Chairperson, IOHAB
