We have decided to cancel today’s meet up because of concerns about the #coronavirus . We are not meeting in April because it’s a bank holiday so our next meeting will be in May.

Today at our monthly meet-up we will hear what Joey gets up to when he’s not in duty.

Being visually impaired can have a huge impact on someone’s life. But, one of the biggest challenges people with macular disease face is that they don’t look any different to anyone else. Read Kelly’s story in the @MetroUK https://t.co/T7x4QaVMDk

[Macular Society @MacularSociety]

Did you know there are nearly 1.5m people in the UK living with macular disease. It is the next public health crisis. Kelly is just one of them. Next week we will be sharing her story. #MacularWeek #SightLoss

[Sutton Macular Group @suttonmacular]

It’s #DiabetesWeek and last month we had a great talk from @DiabetesUK . Useful handouts on food swaps and menus provided.

[Amanda Beck @Beck46Beck]

@suttonmacular @QEF1 Thank you for the warm welcome. Really useful feedback from the group around some of the transport challenges they face with macular degeneration

[Sutton Macular Group @suttonmacular]

Today we have Amanda from @QEF1 asking the group about transport challenges and triumphs. Hopefully our feedback will shape public transport support and services.

Exciting news for people with #glaucoma – a new study published in @TheLancet finds that a 15-minute laser treatment can treat the condition long-term, both saving patients from a lifetime of daily eye drops and the #NHS budget £1.5m per year - https://t.co/L7WthsKJ5F

Few things can beat a good chin-wag over a cup of coffee.

#HelloMyNameIs Fiona, I’m a Consultant Ophthalmologist specialising in glaucoma @ManchesterREH @MFTnhs and Chair of Training @RCOphth. It is #Glaucoma Awareness week and I am looking forward to telling you more about how we can diagnose and manage glaucoma.

[N-Vision @N_Vision_NW]

`The only way to know if you have glaucoma is to have your eyes tested." Don't let the sneak thief of sight get a look in - get a regular eye test. https://t.co/WXlj9Yl8sb #WorldGlaucomaWeek
