Describe the target audience and why your work is relevant to them.

Patients with macular degeneration spend long periods of time waiting in hospitals for worrying treatments like injections into the eye with nothing to distract them. SmartRead, is the first large format print magazine specifically designed to be easily read by this often isolated and neglected audience.
