Glaucoma Awareness Month Fund

Glaucoma Awareness Month, which occurs annually during the month of January, aims to raise awareness surrounding the impacts of glaucoma which affects more than 3 million people across the United States. Glaucoma often develops with no early symptoms, and many do not know they have glaucoma until their vision is significantly impacted. The following organizations are doing the critical work to raise awareness surrounding glaucoma, investing in cutting-edge research to treat glaucoma, and educating the masses on the importance of early detection and regular eye exams.
