For more than 40 years, the Glaucoma Research Foundation has funded innovative clinical and laboratory research. We’ve done so thanks to the help and dedication of the community, who have stood by and supported us in our mission to makes lives better and to find a cure. With your continued financial support and involvement, we will continue to lead the way in research until a cure is found.

Our multidisciplinary consortium is working together to speed the cure for glaucoma and restore vision.
We provide seed money for creative projects that hold promise and explore new research territory.
Interested in specific advances? We publish information about new research results as it becomes available.
Annually we bring together leading experts to discuss new ideas that could lead to better treatments and a cure for glaucoma.
