Glaucoma is a leading cause of preventable sight loss. Glaucoma UK is the only UK charity solely dedicated to supporting people with the disease. We provide all our services free to anyone who needs them. This gift will enable us to support and represent people living with glaucoma.

Story

As a baby, I was diagnosed with congenital glaucoma in both eyes. Multiple surgeries and daily eye drops have helped preserve my vision, but many others aren't so fortunate. I'm running the 2026 London Marathon for Glaucoma UK to fund vital research and support those affected by this condition.

Over 700,000 people in the UK have glaucoma. Half of them don’t know they have it. At Glaucoma UK we want to end preventable glaucoma sight loss. Imagine what it would mean to you to gradually lose your sight, not see your family or be able to drive. 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. Glaucoma UK is reliant on donations, so your support makes a real difference. Together we can change the outlook for people with glaucoma.
