To better inform our constituents of the progress being made, as well as provide outreach to people affected by age-related macular degeneration and keratoconus, we have re-designed our websites, The Discovery Eye Foundation, Macular Degeneration Partnership and the National Keratoconus Foundation. The new sites have been made more user friendly with scalable fonts and high contrast view option. The new websites have given us the chance to reach out to social networks and charity tracking sites, increasing our visability. Patient Educaton Seminars continue to be given thoughout the US.ActivityOrMissionDesc
