TrustSeniors on Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) robs seniors of their independence; limits their ability to move about freely; and severely impacts their quality of life. While not curable, the progression of the disease can be significantly slowed, and new encouraging therapies offer promise for actually improving the sight of those afflicted with AMD.

The government needs to improve Medicare coverage for low-vision therapy; mandate a screening for AMD when a new Medicare beneficiary is enrolled; and make AMD screening a part of an annual physical for every beneficiary.

About Age

AGE is an advocacy group made up of people of each generation who are committed to raise their voices so that Congress will hear the concerns of real Americans. AGE is committed to break the culture in the Congress and our State Legislatures where lobbyists for special interest groups have a greater say in public policy than the people those elected officials are supposed to represent.


AGE is adding more voices every day to this important cause. You need to be a part of this grass-roots movement to protect the interests and future of every generation.
