Eye love you. 👁️💘
And I want your vision to stick around for the long haul.
This Valentine’s Day, skip the chocolates (okay, maybe don’t 😉) —
but don’t skip your eye exam.

Glaucoma has no early symptoms, but early detection and research can change everything.
Show your eyes some love:

👁️ Get checked

🎉 Congratulations to Cátia Gomes, PhD, recipient of the 2026 Shaffer Research Prize from Glaucoma Research Foundation!

Dr. Gomes is being recognized for her innovative research exploring how aging contributes to retinal ganglion cell degeneration—a key driver of vision loss in glaucoma. Her work is helping us better understand the disease and move closer to new approaches for protecting sight.

We’re proud to celebrate scientists who are pushing the boundaries of glaucoma research and shaping a future where vision loss is no longer inevitable. 👁️

You don’t need a gala ticket to fund a breakthrough🧬

Each year, our community comes together through Fund-a-Scientist to power the research moving us closer to better treatments—and a cure—for glaucoma. It’s a collective moment where donors rally alongside one another to fuel the bold ideas of scientists working to stop vision loss and neurodegenerative disease.

From wherever you are, you can stand with this community and make an impact. During Glaucoma Awareness Month, every gift to Fund-a-Scientist is matched dollar-for-dollar thanks to our partners at , doubling your support for life-changing research.
