The Glaucoma Foundation is dedicated to developing a cure for glaucoma through innovative research, collaboration and education. Our goal is to eradicate blindness caused by glaucoma.
Educate yourself on the eye and how it works, diagnosing glaucoma, exfoliation syndrome, and glaucoma treatments.
People deal differently with their glaucoma diagnosis and the reality of living with a chronic disease.

The Glaucoma Foundation has been funding groundbreaking glaucoma research for over 30 years.
When Dr. Janey Wiggs gave a presentation on Genetics and Glaucoma at last summer’s TGF Symposium, she spoke about genetics as a tool we should be using hand in hand with all our other clinical tools. “Glaucoma is actually one of the most heritable of all human conditions,” she explained. “The genetics are so strong for the disease that we can capitalize on this association.”
Since it’s founding in 1984, The Glaucoma Foundation has never wavered from its principle mission: to fund cutting edge glaucoma research and to educate the public about glaucoma, its diagnosis, and its treatment. The support of individuals like you has provided us with the resources to deliver on this mission.
