Revolutionary lens implants

More reports of how implanted lens can help improve the vision of dry AMD patients. This new IOL-Revolution lenses have been introduced in the United Kingdom and seem to be making strong progress. 

Read this report to find out more how it has helped someone like Jeffrey Howell, 68 (below), a retired general manager of an engineering company.


This new lens should be an improvement of the previous IOL-VIP lens we posted on this blog five years ago. Read our previous report from 2008.

Notice for 2013 Annual General Meeting

Dear MDS members,

Our 2013 MDS AGM will be held on Saturday afternoon, 31 August 2013 from 2.30pm to 4pm. 

At 2.30pm we will have a special launch of Denise Au Eong’s recently published book, When Grandma Sees a Whirlpool. The story is about a young boy who accompanies his mother and grandma on a visit to an ophthalmologist, where Grandma is diagnosed with AMD. Denise will tell us how she came to write the book, and be on hand to autograph copies.

Denise is the daughter of our MDS advisor, Dr Au Eong Kah Guan, who has generously given each MDS member a copy of the book, which you can collect at the AGM. If you are a lapsed member, come and pay up your $10 for 2013 membership. You will still come out ahead, as the book sells for $12!
