We Support New Ideas
The Society plays a fundamental role in funding start-up research projects that often receive enhanced funding from other sources.
We are the only Canadian charity solely dedicated to funding glaucoma research. Since 1988, we have raised over one million dollars in support of more than 80 research projects. Read about the projects we’ve funded

Treating Glaucoma
Although there is no cure yet for glaucoma, medications and surgery can help you live with the disease and slow its progress.
