Glaucoma awareness
Developing a dynamic, broad and deep web resource presenting glaucoma information to support and empower those with glaucoma.
Focus on the patient
Why are patients with vision-threatening diseases so frustrated? They don't understand their disease or their treatment, And they don't feel their vision problems are being addressed.
Re-envisioning the system
Creating a system that will empower those with vision-impairing diseases to become active partners in their treatment and encourage doctors to offer their patients the resources and information they need.
This website is a platform for presenting new initiatives we believe will have much needed impact on those struggling with vision-impairing diseases and on those delivering clinical and rehabilitation services. Patients need help – understanding the complexities of their conditions, the treatment plans they are engaged in, and what's happening to their vision. Doctors, technicians, and nurses need help supporting and educating their patients.
We're "under development." As we present our vision for projects that we hope to bring to fruition, we welcome comments and suggestions.
