The biggest challenge for your field…

While glaucoma being the leading cause of preventable irreversible blindness worldwide, reaching all affected patients remains a major challenge. Approximately half of those with glaucoma have no idea they have it, and the numbers continue to climb. If we could detect and treat every patient with glaucoma, we would dramatically reduce the burden of vision loss both within our own communities and around the world.
