Over 700,000 people in the UK have glaucoma. Half of them don’t know they have it. At Glaucoma UK we want to end preventable glaucoma sight loss.
We campaign to raise awareness so glaucoma is detected early and can be treated, we support people to live well with glaucoma and we fund sight saving research
We’re a membership charity and are passionate about making sure that people living with glaucoma have a say in how and where their care and treatment is delivered. We provide a host of support services to help people at all stages of their glaucoma journey, but we’re also here for the professionals too – providing support and resources and helping them keep in touch with what matters most to people with glaucoma.
You can read more about the breadth of our work and the impact that it has on our Glaucoma UK blog.
