Microphthalmia, Anophthalmia and Coloboma Support (MACS)

This year, 90 families in the UK will be told their babies have no eyes, small eyes, or a cleft in the eye. Many of them will have additional needs or other health challenges. Some will be told there’s no hope that their child will ever see. They may feel hopeless and alone - but they are not alone and there is hope.

MACS is a small UK charity supporting families affected by Microphthalmia, Anophthalmia, and Coloboma. Around 114 babies are born each year with these conditions, often alongside other health challenges. 
MACS supports over 3,600 people from more than 1,100 families, providing peer support, practical advice, and access to life-changing activities and trips.
