Thank God or the Glaucoma Research Foundation optimist Hope for Blindness.

Glaucoma Research Foundation was one of the first places I turned when I was diagnosed with glaucoma. They provided helpful information that a non-medical person could understand! Their research programs are impressive, and provide real hope to find a cure. In the meantime their educational tools and informative and play an important role in understanding this difficult disease.

I am a GRF volunteer with congenital glaucoma who has written two articles for the Glaucoma Research Foundation's free newsletter "Gleams" on how I use the Apple iPhone and Macintosh computer to help cope with the glaucoma-caused total blindness in my left eye and the limited vision in my right eye. I also offered my iPhone/Mac-aided coping consulting services free to "Gleams" readers' with questions via email or by phone if they did not yet own a computer. Over the course of a year, I received over 100 emails asking for help and I was pleased and honored to give it. I'm not a wealthy man or a brilliant glaucoma research scientist of physician, but my ophthalmologist, Andrew Iwach, M.D., a GRF Board Director, and GRF President and CEO Thomas Brunner, graciously offered me the privilege of sharing my relevant experience and skills to hopefully help other glaucoma sufferers better cope with their disability. When I was born in 1946, not much was known about glaucoma and thus I was not diagnosed with it until I was 5 years old by which time I was already blind in my left eye and significantly impaired in my right eye. Thus, you can begin to understand why I feel for future children and adults that the Glaucoma Research Foundation is an essential positive force in the effort to support the necessary research to stop the light's out nightmare damage of blindness caused by glaucoma. If you can help GRF as a donor, or a researcher, or a volunteer like me, I hope you will, and I thank you. -- Paul Otterness and the children and adults who hope to see clearly all of their lives.

My involvement with GRF began in 1987 when I was newly diagnosed with glaucoma and trying to learn as much as possible about what I was facing. Even all those years ago this organization provided the best and most comprehensive information for patients, and the breadth and quality of information available today is better than ever. Subsequently I began to volunteer for the organization and I served on the Board and as an officer. I stepped down from the Board ten years ago but I have continued to be a donor and to follow the work of the organization. GRF is well managed and it has outstanding leadership from both physicians and patients. The primary focus has always been on directing funds to research and patient education, and keeping administrative and fundraising costs to a minimum. GRF's mission is to find a cure for glaucoma, and along the way to achieving that goal it is learning more about what causes this disease and how it should be treated. The organization is worthy of support from anyone interested in glaucoma.

GRF is an exceptional charity. If you are interested in helping fund a cure for glaucoma, this is the place to invest. One of the best and most effective charities I am involved in.

I invested millions of dollars in GRF a decade before I developed glaucoma.

Now that I am quickly losing my eyesight, their research is more urgent than ever for me.

I was diagnosed with Glaucoma several years ago and went on line to find out information about this disease and discovered the Glaucoma Research Foundation. I was impressed by the research work that they were doing and, even though my periodic donation is quite small, I felt an obligation to do what i was able to do to help out.

I was very glad to discover that there was an organization working diligently to find a cure for this sight- robbing disease.

GRF is marked by outstanding, innovative, dedicated leadership that goes way beyond the norm. The focus is acute, the organization well-managed at all levels. Money is spent wisely and carefully. The research and the researchers it funds are extraordinary.

GRF is a fantastic organization. From top to bottom, the staff is committed and focused. The cause is great and I am very happy to support GRF in any way that I can.

The Glaucoma Research Foundation is a great source of information and hope.

GRF does a poor job in highligthing the impact Glaucoma has on children. As a research foundation the goal of this organization should be to target the root of the problem. I am dissapointed time after time in the quarterly communications, in the FB posting how the research foundation continues to feed the inaccurate fact that glaucoma only targets adults. Unfortunately we have first hand knowledge of the impact this disease has on a childs life. We struggle to raise awareness for this cause and would greatly benefit from the support the research foundation could provide

My name is Wayne and battling glaucoma for 35 years. I have laser-surgery on both eyes, my left eye has no vision and my right has 20/50 vision. I'm legally blind from my state. I also take eye drops in my right eye. if someone see this message be shore to see your eye doctor at lease twice a year. listen to what i say i don't want you to go through what i been through? GOD BLESS YOU WAYNE:

Since I have been on the board of the Glaucoma Research Foundation it has been exciting to watch the growth in momentum in supporting Glaucoma research. It has been most satisfying to be even a small part of the Foundation’s endeavors.

I am volunteering with the Glaucoma Research Foundation because I believe in the mission of this organization and have confidence in the research it funds through programs such as "Catalyst for a Cure" and the Shaffer Fund. I am motivated to get other youth involved in this cause because with enough support, there is a chance that we may find a cure within our lifetime. To eradicate a leading cause of blindness - what an amazing goal!

As a founder of GRF, I have watched it grow over the years to become the most effective foundation seeking a cure for Glaucoma. It has a strong board consisting of knowledgeable physicians and interested patients and worthy of support if you have friends or family with glaucoma

GLAUCOMA RESEARCH FOUNDATION, WITH A RELATIVELY SMALL REASERCH BUDGET, HAS RAISED THE BAR FOR GLAUCOMA RESEARCH WITH THE FUNDING IT DID FOR THE "CATALYST FOR A CURE" COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM. ITS BOARD HAS DIVERSE MEMBERSHIP. THE END RESULT IS A GREAT PARTNER FOR THE GRF STAFF AND A VERY GOOD FORUM FOR WHERE TO TAKE THE RESEARCH..

Years ago I was asked to volunteer with GRF's investment committee. With glaucoma in my family, I was glad to help. As I grew more familiar with GRF, I became more involved, eventually (and still) as a board member. GRF's small staff provides useful information for glaucoma patients and their families and its funding is driving the direction of glaucoma research toward a cure - too late for my mother, but not for my grandchildren.
