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 times continue to be challenging. But we want you to know that TGF has been hard at work, with a special focus on our research program.
Each year, TGF awards seed grants for innovative projects that provide a platform for large and impactful research advances. We recently announced a new granting platform focused on the topic of intraocular pressure-independent mechanisms of optic nerve degeneration in glaucoma. Examples of research that may be considered for these one-year grants of $60,000 range from basic science to clinical interventions, such as genetics and genomic medicine, disease modeling, assessment of ocular perfusion, artificial intelligence, and clinical research.
On the funding side, we are in the midst of The TGF Art Challenge to Celebrate Vision, with artists and art lovers participating to support our research program. Please visit our art gallery to learn more!
It’s not too late to become a visionary for vision.
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.
