The Macular Degeneration Foundation (MDF) was founded in 1991 by Edmund J. Alexandrovich as a 501c3 tax-exempt charitable medical research and educational foundation. It funds promising scientific studies designed to find a cure for macular degeneration, inhibit its progression, and restore the vision of afflicted ones.

It is dedicated to those who have and will develop macular degeneration. We offer this growing community the latest information, news, hope and encouragement.

Services include links to resources such as Low Vision Centers, Therapists, Physicians, and Support Groups in your area. In addition, the Foundation gives financial support to researchers investigating treatments and others helping those coping with the challenges of living with the loss of their central vision.
