Over 50s Life Through a Lens

Over 50s Life Through a Lens is a unique photography series which aims to bring the reality of vision impairment to life by reflecting the personal experiences of people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

The concept by Irish photographer Jason Clarke was devised to raise awareness of AMD, the most common cause of registered blindness in this country.

The series also features a number of celebrities portraying what they would miss most about everyday life if affected by an eye condition such as AMD.
