It is a national, not-for-profit registered charity dedicated to providing educational services to raise awareness about the serious and common eye disease glaucoma; to support glaucoma sufferers and to raise fund for research. We increase community awareness of glaucoma as a potentially blinding disease and thus the need for regular eye checks, and provide information and support for glaucoma patients and their families, reinforcing advice and explanations given by their eye practitioner, and hopefully improving compliance with therapy.
