Living Better with AMD

Because of its challenge to independence - including the ability to drive and perform other daily activities - AMD can have a profound impact on someone's quality of life. People with AMD are at a significant risk for depression, and the personal, social, and economic costs of AMD can be devastating.

However with proper support and training, someone who has AMD can regain their independence and return to a fulfilling life. If you think you may have AMD, contact CNIB in your community today. Don't delay - it's never too early to start dealing proactively with vision loss, and getting your life back.

  • We can help you to maximize your remaining vision, and guide you to resources and tools you can use to live better with AMD.
  • We can provide mobility training so you can get around in your community, and show you how to change your living space to better accommodate your needs. And we can help you to develop new skills that will allow you to quickly resume your everyday activities.

In most cases, you don't have to give up the things you most enjoyed doing because of AMD; it's just a matter of doing them differently. Whether you enjoy reading, sewing, crossword puzzles, visiting friends, hiking, or bowling, we can help. Learn more about accessing CNIB Programs and Services.
