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.
Read their stories.
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.
For people living with glaucoma and the caregivers supporting them, days can start to feel organized around appointments, eye drops, side effects, and the quiet stress of wondering what changes might come next. When energy is limited and confidence takes a hit, accessible hobbies for wellness can offer steadier ground, lifting mood, easing mental fatigue, and bringing structure back to the week through simple personal growth activities. The point isn’t perfection; it’s new skill development that feels doable, plus the mental health benefits of hobbies that come from focused attention and small wins. Over time, beginner hobby ideas can open the door to social connection through hobbies that don’t revolve around medical updates.
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.
