Improving Patient Management Pathways in Age-Related Macular Degeneration [ 2019 - 2020 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Lauren Ayton (Principal investigator)

Brief description Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of vision impairment in Australians aged over 50 years. In recent years, there have been a number of diagnostic tests and new interventions developed for AMD, but it has proven challenging to communicate this information to all primary eye care practitioners. This project will investigate the reasons management guidelines are not always being followed, and develop online training to provide direct bench-to-bedside AMD education.
