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
Glaucoma UK is a membership charity passionate about making sure that people living with glaucoma have a say in how and where their care and treatment are 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.
Our annual reports and accounts show our activity for previous financial years. Please note, Glaucoma UK is the operating name of the International Glaucoma Association.
Glaucoma UK is governed by a Board of Trustees who oversee our strategy, activity and performance, our finances and our polices. We are also supported by a Clinical Advisory Panel of 22 ophthalmology and optometry specialists and people living with glaucoma.
