Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a blinding condition associated with depression and loneliness. This facilitates unhealthy lifestyle behaviours which drives AMD progression. We developed the first online lifestyle intervention for AMD, called Movement, Interaction and Nutrition for Greater Lifestyles in the Elderly (MINGLE) to promote positive lifestyle changes, reduce loneliness and depression. This qualitative study explored enablers and barriers to participation in MINGLE for older Australians with AMD. Thirty-one participants with AMD were interviewed using a semi-structured in-depth approach. Thematic analysis revealed nine themes. Enablers to participation were: socialising and learning about AMD, motivation to improve health, program accessibility and structure. Barriers were: lack of time, unfamiliarity with technology, limited knowledge regarding holistic interventions, vision-related issues, mobility and negative perception of group interactions. Multiple factors influence the participation of AMD patients in MINGLE and these must be considered when developing and implementing the MINGLE program to maximise participation.
