Tina Mac Donald, OD:

Hi, my name is Tina Mac Donald, I was one of the presenters today at this fabulous conference [and] I work for Western University of Health Sciences College of Optometry.

My presentation today was on living with an untreatable eye disease—specifically macular degeneration. I hope reviewing the prevalence and incidence of this devastating condition was helpful for the attendees, and I hope I gave them takeaways regarding simple things like improved lighting, filters, and some magnification to help those with better acuities. And I hope they learned about amazing technology including AI, VR, and augmented reality to help those return to a more independent state in the lives.
