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.
Glaucoma patients often leave appointments with more questions than answers. Glaucoma is a chronic eye condition that damages the optic nerve, usually related to increased eye pressure, and it requires steady, long-term management. Yet visits can feel rushed, technical, and overwhelming — especially when new test results, medication changes, or surgical options are discussed.
The good news: with a little preparation, you can turn short appointments into focused, productive conversations that move your care forward.
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.
