The current Coronavirus pandemic highlights the importance of research and clinical trials to pioneer cures and new treatments to fight disease. This is why I am passionate about supporting Glaucoma UK.”
We are working tirelessly to support UK researchers to shed light on early diagnosis, care and treatment that will help everyone affected by glaucoma.
From being diagnosed to getting to grips with treatments and how glaucoma affects everyday life, these stories give a voice to those who are dealing with the disease – and may be experiencing the same things as you or a member of your family.
Support people who have just been diagnosed or those living with the condition. You can make a single or monthly donation. Your donation will help us support people with glaucoma and fund research into detection, management and treatment.
