We are a registered charity providing sight saving education & support for people with glaucoma.

We help people with glaucoma 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. If you or a loved one has recently been diagnosed with glaucoma you might be feeling overwhelmed and concerned for the future but remember you’re not alone. While there is no cure, glaucoma can be managed and we're here to support you every step of the way. We do this by providing FREE education and support via our website, social media, email, brochures, videos and one-to-one phone support.

Could damaged vision one day be restored? 🔬

For decades, glaucoma treatment has focused on slowing the disease. Now researchers are exploring new possibilities, including ways to protect and repair the optic nerve.

Professor Jonathan Crowston and his team are investigating the changes that happen to optic nerve cells in people with glaucoma. Their work suggests some of these changes may be reversible.

That could open the door to a new generation of treatments, ones that go beyond slowing glaucoma and move towards restoring vision.

Your support of the Quinlivan Research Appeal helps Australian researchers continue this vital work.

Every discovery brings us closer to a future with less glaucoma blindness. 💙

What if the future of glaucoma treatment looked different? 👁️

At just 29 years old, Cameron never expected glaucoma to become part of his life.

After experiencing pain and blurred vision, he sought medical help - but the diagnosis came as a shock. Over time, glaucoma has changed the way he works, drives and experiences everyday life.

Today’s treatments can help slow glaucoma progression, but they cannot reverse the damage already caused.

That’s why research matters.

Through the Quinlivan Research Appeal, you can help support Australian researchers exploring new approaches to glaucoma treatment - including discoveries that could one day repair damage to the optic nerve and restore sight.

Together, we can help create a future where glaucoma doesn’t mean irreversible vision loss. 💙

A new chapter for glaucoma care in Australia has begun.

Glaucoma Australia is proud to announce the launch of Australia’s first National Action Plan for Glaucoma at the Vision 2020 Parliamentary Friends of Eye Health and Vision Care event at Australian Parliament House in Canberra.

For 40 years, Glaucoma Australia has worked to protect sight and support Australians living with glaucoma. Now, we are bringing together the knowledge, experience and voices of our community to drive national action.

Glaucoma remains a major cause of irreversible vision loss. Too many Australians are diagnosed only after permanent damage has occurred, or face challenges accessing the ongoing care and support needed to protect their sight.

The National Action Plan provides a shared framework to change that trajectory:

👁️ Catch glaucoma early
💙 Enable people to live well with glaucoma
🤝 Deliver a joined-up system of care

Because protecting sight means preserving independence, confidence and quality of life.

We know what to do. Now we act.

Help shape the future of glaucoma surgery research 🔬

Glaucoma Australia is supporting researchers from the Fight Glaucoma Blindness project at the Save Sight Institute, University of Sydney to develop a new study on glaucoma tube surgery.

Before the study begins, researchers want to hear from people living with glaucoma about what matters most when considering surgery and how research can better reflect patient priorities.

You don’t need to have had glaucoma surgery to take part - whether you’re newly diagnosed, have lived with glaucoma for years, or support someone with glaucoma, your experience matters.

The survey takes just 5 minutes and your feedback will help shape future glaucoma research.

👉 Have your say: https://glaucomaaustralia.typeform.com/to/dou6eYLZ

You can also register your interest in further involvement, including consumer discussions, advisory groups and reviewing patient information.

Together, we can help ensure research reflects what matters most to people with glaucoma. 💙

Today is World Sight Day - a reminder of the importance of protecting our vision and prioritising our eye health. 👁️💙

Glaucoma Australia was proud to celebrate the day at the Sydney Eye Hospital Foundation Community Open Day, connecting with patients, families, health professionals and members of the community to talk about glaucoma awareness and the importance of regular eye health checks.

Our team had so many great conversations about glaucoma, the importance of early detection, and the support available through our free SiGHTWiSE patient education and support program.

A huge thank you to our incredible Orthoptist Patient Educator Valerie Toswill and wonderful volunteer Alisha for helping spread the word about glaucoma and supporting the community throughout the day. 💙

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared their stories and took the time to learn more about glaucoma. Together, we’re helping more Australians understand their eye health and take action to protect their sight.
