About the International Glaucoma Association(9)

The International Glaucoma Association is the charity for people with glaucoma, with the mission to raise awareness of glaucoma, promote research related to early diagnosis and treatment and to provide support to patients and all those who care for them.

Our vision is to ensure that all people with or at risk of glaucoma have the knowledge and access to care that will enable them to maintain a good quality of life.

About the Eye Health Alliance(10)

The Eye Health Alliance brings together the professional and representative optical bodies and eye care charities to campaign for better eye health for all.

The Alliance was formed in 2006 to tackle the rising levels of avoidable blindness in the UK. Members of the Alliance represent patients, eye health professionals and equipment manufacturers who work together to promote the health benefits of good eye care to ensure all patients have access to high quality services.
