Objectives

Patient Care

Patient care begins with consultation in the morning and scheduling of surgery in the afternoon.

Medical Training

Local physicians assist in the surgeries alongside the US medical team and benefit from the training and exposure to new procedures.

Medical Procedures

The surgeries include glaucoma tube shunts, trabeculectomies, trabeculotomies and Gonioscopy Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy (GATT).

Supporting Glaucoma Research is Vital to Saving Sight

Your involvement with the Cure Glaucoma Foundation will help support the dream of funding new treatments and, eventually, a cure for glaucoma. We know glaucoma is the world’s leading cause of irreversible preventable blindness. We know research is a vital key to reducing blindness from glaucoma.

Supporting glaucoma research helps save sight and advance treatments for patients affected by this leading cause of preventable blindness

This initiative is designed to teach the latest glaucoma related treatments and/or surgical skills to doctors in developing countries.
