Care & Support
Glaucoma UK is here to provide help, information and support to everyone living with glaucoma. Our wide range of services is made possible thanks to the generosity of our amazing supporters.
Helpline
If you’d like to talk about glaucoma, our helpline is available to answer any of your questions and provide advice and support via phone or email.
Booklets and dispensing aids
We have a range of free resources like booklets, leaflets and dispensing aids to help you learn about glaucoma and better manage your condition.
Regular webinars
Our digital glaucoma support groups take place roughly once a month. They usually involve an expert guest to discuss a particular topic in detail, whether it’s driving with glaucoma or using eye drops. Sign up to an upcoming session or view the recordings on our support groups page.
Buddy scheme
We have a buddy scheme that puts you in touch with other people with glaucoma. If you’ve been recommended for surgery or laser treatment, we can link you up with someone who has experienced the same treatment.

Visit our community forum to talk to other people with glaucoma, ask questions and learn about other people’s experiences.
