Together we can help people living with glaucoma
Did you know that 150,000 Australians are completely unaware that they have glaucoma and are at risk of losing their precious eyesight?
Glaucoma Australia's mission is to raise awareness, educate and support the community and fund ground-breaking research to eliminate glaucoma blindness.
Without our generous supporters, we simply could not continue to improve the quality of life of people affected by glaucoma today, tomorrow and into the future. Whether you are a volunteer, fundraiser, donor or support group co-ordinator, every effort makes a positive impact and is greatly appreciated.
You can make a one-off, monthly, quarterly or annual gift. Every dollar counts and donating is quick and easy.
It’s easy to share the important messages around early detection and treatment. Our shareable materials promote regular eye health exams.
Leaving a Gift in your Will to Glaucoma Australia is a wonderful legacy and gift that lives on to save sight well into the future.
Volunteering your time and skills with us is a very rewarding experience and there are so many ways to help.
Everyone has a unique glaucoma story. By sharing yours, you can help others dealing with glaucoma find inspiration and hope.

When I found out that I had glaucoma I was very upset but eventually I accepted it and understood that it’s manageable.
My Glaucoma was first diagnosed in December 1999 on an OHAS eye test for computer use.
In earlier years when my elder relatives (mother, uncles and aunties) had Glaucoma, it didn't ring a bell for me.
My oldest brother also had glaucoma but none of my other five siblings.
I am 90 years old, and I have had glaucoma for 8 years. I have sensitive eyes and I'm unable to go outside in bright sunlight.
When I went for my reading glasses the optometrist sent me to the ophthalmologist, who told me I had Glaucoma.
'You do have glaucoma.' The words I had been dreading. Four words and I feel as if my feet have been swept out from under me.
