Glaucoma Research
Glaucoma Research Society of Canada grants $180,000 for 14 Research Projects
The Glaucoma Research Society of Canada is the only Canadian non-profit organization solely dedicated to funding glaucoma research. Since 1989, it has raised more than five million dollars in support of 247 research projects. The Society funds 10 to 15% of all independent glaucoma research in Canada.
Sound governance, a volunteer board, and low administration costs ensure that more than 80% of funds raised by the Society go directly to Canadian researchers.
Glaucoma Treatments
Although there is no cure yet for glaucoma, medications and surgery can help you live with the disease and slow its progress.
