APUP (Adult Patients Under Pressure)
Support communities can play an important role in helping glaucoma patients understand their disease and learn how to manage it over their lifetime. APUP, “Adult Patients Under Pressure”, was created to give patients with glaucoma an online forum to discuss and share their stories and experiences, as well as offer each other support through online discussions.

Glaucoma Support and Education Group (GSEG)
We are a patient led, volunteer group whose aim is to provide information and peer support to glaucoma patients. We meet monthly on Zoom for 7 or 8 months each year. We provide peer support via a support session and education via a lecture and Q&A with a speaker on a relevant topic.
For any questions or to be added to their email list contact them at gseg@glaucomasupport.org.
