Research

For over 40 years, The Glaucoma Foundation has been at the forefront of new ideas in glaucoma research, bringing leading scientists together & sparking the innovations that shape the field.

I am truly thankful to TGF for offering such incredible patient education in the form of resources and webinars with real patients who are going through similar struggles. As with any chronic disease, we can feel very alone as patients and one of the biggest challenges is finding a network where we are supported and understood.

– Hillary G., Glaucoma Patient

Message From The President

Funding cutting-edge research has been at the core of TGF’s mission to find a cure for glaucoma since our founding 42 years ago. And research was front and center at our recent Anniversary Gala, as you will read. At that celebratory event in April, we were thrilled when the recipient of the Kitty Carlisle Hart Award of Merit for Lifetime Achievement, philanthropist Daria Becker Barry, announced a major $5 million dollar pledge for research that will open new doors to help us get closer to eradicating blindness from glaucoma. We are exceedingly grateful!
