Glaucoma Australia is dedicated to providing sight saving education, support and advocacy to people with glaucoma and their families. That’s why they would like to help OA members in this vital work by providing ongoing free education and support throughout the life journey of those living with glaucoma.
The Glaucoma Australia Referral Response Pathway has been designed to give patients information that is practical, useful and actionable at every stage of their journey. For eye health professionals, please watch a video (3 minutes) which explains and described the 4 stages of the referral pathway, how it works, plus how and why eye health professionals should refer their patients to Glaucoma Australia.

Australia’s fundraising initiative, the 7 Sights Challenge, is raising much-needed funds to help take glaucoma blindness out of the picture while increasing Australians’ awareness of this insidious eye disease. Running throughout March, the 7 Sights Challenge is asking Australians to capture seven pictures while they are out and about enjoying life. The challenge is designed to remind them their sight is precious as they snap moments in time while raising much-needed funds for glaucoma research to improve patients’ quality of life, early detection programs and critical support services.
