Ita Buttrose has a family history of MD and will speak on how the disease has impacted her family, and the lifestyle choices she has undertaken to reduce her risk of developing the disease.

This session is open to anyone who would like to attend but BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL via the Macular Degeneration Foundation on 1800 111 709. A free information kit will be provided which includes an Amsler grid that can be used for testing of symptoms.
