The Glaucoma Foundation has been funding groundbreaking glaucoma research for over 30 years.
According to studies, although different factors may cause sensorineural hearing loss and glaucoma, they both share a pathophysiology of neurodegeneration. This means that although the occurrence of both diseases in a single individual is not common, it may happen more often than what was previously thought. As it is, about three million Americans have glaucoma, while 30 million have some degree of hearing loss.
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.
