Together we can defeat blindness from glaucoma
Glaucoma Australia carries out our critical work of supporting Australians with glaucoma and reaching the 150,000 people who are completely unaware they have glaucoma.
We could not carry out our critical work without Glaucoma Australia’s team of Orthoptists Educators, volunteers, support group coordinators, fundraisers and our generous glaucoma community, to whom we are extremely grateful. Please join our efforts.
Your support can increase awareness and early detection rates and provide sight saving help to those already diagnosed with glaucoma.
It’s easy to share the important messages around early detection of glaucoma and treatment. Our shareable materials promote regular eye health exams.
A Gift in your Will towards a glaucoma free future is a wonderful way to ensure that your kindness and generosity continues to make a difference for others.
Get your Entertainment™ membership from us and you’ll be helping to eliminate glaucoma blindness.
Fundraising is a great way to have fun and make a big difference in the lives of people with glaucoma.
There are many ways to volunteer for us, and it's a great way to help others and express gratitude - a key to our own happiness.
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.
