National nonprofit launches patient and expert videos, bilingual fact sheets, and the free AMD GuideMe app—supported by EyePoint, Inc.—to promote early detection, independence, and vision health among adults 50+
Prevent Blindness has designated February as Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Low Vision Month, spotlighting a comprehensive suite of free, expert-reviewed educational resources for patients, caregivers, clinicians, and the public. This year’s awareness campaign is generously supported by EyePoint, Inc..
AMD is the leading cause of severe vision loss among adults age 50 and older, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. An estimated 4 million Americans live with low vision, defined as chronic visual impairment that cannot be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or standard medical treatments. As the U.S. population ages, the burden of AMD and low vision is expected to grow—making early detection, timely treatment, and access to practical resources increasingly critical.
