The Quebec Glaucoma Foundation was created in the spring of 2007.

Our mission:

1) to promote glaucoma awareness

2) to informer people already suffering from glaucoma

3) to promote glaucoma research in Quebec

The foundation wants to promote glaucoma awareness to encourage people at risk of developing this disease to get screened. The foundation wants to promote scientific and medical research on the causes of and and treatments for glaucoma as well as genetic factors contributing to its development. This would help to better identify those at risk and enable an earlier diagnosis.
