About

Glaucoma UK is the charity for people with glaucoma. We’re here for people with glaucoma and their loved ones. We campaign to raise awareness so glaucoma is detected early and can be treated, we support people to live well with glaucoma and we fund sight-saving research.

We are a membership organisation, and those living with glaucoma are at the very heart of all we do. We support people to live well with glaucoma by providing a telephone helpline, glaucoma support groups, peer support services and widely acclaimed information booklets.

Opening times

9.30am - 5pm Monday - Friday

Access

We do not receive visits at our offices in general, our services are available by phone or email. When organising patient meetings, we ensure that the venue offers hearing loop and disability access. We are on the ground floor of a building.

Referral method

Self referral. Our details may be given by a consultant or nurse working in an eye clinic, or by an optometrist, but this is only as a recommendation if patients are after more information about glaucoma.
