Wiltshire Sight is supporting Macular Week with an event at St Lucy’s Sight Centre in Devizes on Wednesday 28th June, 10.00am – 2.00pm. The event will aim to raise awareness of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) in Wiltshire. Visitors will have the opportunity to view the latest in assistive technology equipment and hear from professionals about services and products.
