Glaucoma UK

Raising glaucoma awareness, supporting lives, and funding research for better treatment.


Glaucoma UK is the only charity in the UK dedicated solely to supporting people with glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible sight loss.

Our mission is to ensure that no one has to face glaucoma alone. We provide vital support and tailored advice to those living with the condition, helping them manage their eye health and maintain their quality of life. Our services include a helpline, informative resources, and peer support networks, all designed to empower individuals with the knowledge and confidence they need to navigate life with glaucoma.

In addition to our direct support services, we are committed to raising public awareness about glaucoma, emphasising the importance of regular eye tests and early detection. We also work to educate healthcare professionals, ensuring they are equipped with the latest knowledge to improve diagnosis and care. Our charity plays a crucial role in funding groundbreaking research to advance the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of glaucoma. We collaborate with leading researchers to drive innovations that could prevent sight loss and improve outcomes for those affected.

At Glaucoma UK, we are dedicated to creating a future where glaucoma no longer robs individuals of their sight. Through support, education, and research, we strive to make a lasting impact on the lives of people with glaucoma across the UK.

We receive no government funding so we are incredibly grateful to all the amazing people who fundraise for us. Without people like you, our sight-saving work would not be possible. Take a look at our latest challenges below and find your next adventure, no matter how big or small!
