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 adults living with glaucoma while juggling work, family, and medical appointments, the hardest part often isn’t the drops or the tests, it’s the quiet emotional load. The glaucoma impact on mental health can show up as grief over changing vision, irritability, sleep disruption, or a constant scan for what might worsen next. These psychological effects of chronic eye disease are easy to dismiss as “just stress,” yet they can deepen isolation and make daily routines feel heavier. With steadier support and practical structure, mental wellness for glaucoma patients can become something that holds through uncertainty.
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.
