Losing your eyesight is frightening. Empowering patients, caregivers, and families to learn all they can about AMD – the disease. This is what we do ALL day EVERY day.
Mrs. O’Malley is 1 of 20 million people who are losing their sight from macular degeneration. She told me her story with a trembling voice from fear of going blind progressively. Her eye doctor told her there was NOTHING he could do for her. She was devastated! How could that be? She lives in a rural area and does not have convenient access to other eye care providers. Or, many choices either. She found a business card I had given her years ago and called not knowing if there would be anyone to talk to.
Join us to make difference and make a gift from the heart to save sight today! Every season, every month, every day, we need your help to get the job done.
In the spirit of giving,

The SupportSight Foundation
The Support Sight Foundation’s (TSSF) mission is to save sight for millions of people who suffer from age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and lose their precious vision. As a 501 (c)3 public charity, our goal is to provide patient education and access to low vision resources to help individuals, families, and caregivers whose lives are severely impacted by AMD.
We place a high priority on connecting with people, their families and loved ones who live with the daily struggle of impaired vision.
TSSF funds innovative vision research projects conducted by top scientists in the field who are on a path to discover effective new tools, technology, and treatments for people with vision loss.
Millions of Americans with macular degeneration struggle to read their favorite magazine or newspaper. They also have difficulty driving, watching a movie, seeing a sunset, enjoying an art exhibition or even recognizing the faces of loved ones. Their world is out of focus.
Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision impairment and blindness in people over 50. The statistics are astounding.
Macular degeneration leaves a blind spot, severely obscuring the central field of vision.
