Each year we receive grant applications from researchers exploring new ways to detect, monitor and treat glaucoma. Your gift can support the breakthroughs that will prevent sight loss for the next generation.
Glaucoma research can translate into clear improvements in the lives of people with the disease, and is in desperate need of funding. Your action today can help improve the quality of life for people living with glaucoma and change how our children and grandchildren experience it.
100% of your donation to the William A. Quinlivan Research Fund will go directly towards glaucoma research that could find the treatment or detection method that helps more people keep their sight.
Fear of blindness doesn’t have to be the outcome for people who will be diagnosed in the future, and quality of life can be improved today. But it will require investment in research – research that you can help fund.
The number and the quality of applications are growing year by year. Glaucoma Australia is crucial to funding glaucoma research because no matter how much public funding there is, it's never enough for all the wonderful projects being done.A/Prof. Simon Skalicky
The research you help fund today will help improve the quality of life for people with glaucoma tomorrow. Please give what you can.
2020 'Quinlivan' Research Grant Recipient
This year’s glaucoma research grant is awarded to Dr Flora Hui, Research Fellow at the Centre for Eye Research Australia (CERA). Dr Hui will investigate whether daily doses of vitamin B3 (nicotinamide) could provide long-term protection against nerve cell damage and prevent blindness in glaucoma.
“I extend my congratulations to Dr Hui and my sincere thanks to all of the dedicated Australian glaucoma researchers, for their work in the fight against glaucoma blindness,” said the Governor-General, David Hurley.
Changing people's lives through research was the reason my husband Marcus set up this fund in honour of his father William. It's remarkable to see how far research has advanced, and I am so hopeful to see what will be possible for the next generation. Thank you for your support of Glaucoma Australia and the William A. Quinlivan Research Fund.Nathalie Quinlivan
