Macula Today
Macula Today is an annual meeting dedicated to patients and their families, as well as journalists, general practitioners or other specialists and ophthalmologists. The event is proposed and organized by the Macula & Genoma Foundation with the aim of presenting the most significant advances in the ophthalmology sector to people who are not strictly "experts".
The topics covered are presented in a simplified language, to make concepts and information accessible to a wider and non-specialized public, but without ever giving up scientific rigor.
Macula Today is a much awaited appointment by patients, since on this occasion they can come into contact with eminent exponents of the world of research and be informed directly from the source on the progress actually made and on the new therapies already available or about to become one.
