Most people with glaucoma feel completely fine. No pain. No blurred vision. No warning signs. By the time vision loss is noticed, the damage is already permanent and irreversible. That's why glaucoma is called the silent thief of sight.

This World Glaucoma Week (March 8–14), make a promise to protect your vision:
✅ Schedule a comprehensive eye exam
✅ Know your family history
✅ Talk to your eye doctor about your risk

Early detection is the only way to prevent vision loss from glaucoma. Don't wait for symptoms that may never come.

🎉 48 Years of Sight-Saving Research!
In 1978, three visionary doctors in San Francisco saw a problem — their glaucoma patients didn't have enough hope. So Drs. Shaffer, Hoskins, and Hetherington did something about it. They founded the Glaucoma Research Foundation with a bold mission: to cure glaucoma and restore vision through innovative research.

Nearly five decades later, that mission burns brighter than ever. As America's oldest and most experienced institution dedicated solely to defeating glaucoma — the leading cause of preventable blindness — we've spent 48 years expanding the field, fueling breakthroughs, and fighting for every patient who deserves a clearer tomorrow.

None of it would be possible without YOU — the donors, advocates, and supporters who have stood beside us every step of the way. You are the heart of our history. Here's to 48 years of hope, discovery, and sight. And to the future we're building together. 👁️✨
