It is estimated that 379,000 Australians have glaucoma, but over 50% have not been diagnosed. That's why Glaucoma Australia encourages all Australians to be more aware of their eye health and the importance of regular eye health checks. Early detection can save sight.

Vision and mission

To prevent sight loss by increasing early detection and improving treatment adherence.

How Glaucoma Australia can help

They help people with glaucoma to get detected early and adhere to their treatment management plan so they can prevent irreversible sight loss and maintain their quality of life with confidence in their eye health.
