About the World Glaucoma Association
The World Glaucoma Association (WGA) is an independent, impartial, ethical, global organization for glaucoma science and care. WGA’s core purpose is to eliminate glaucoma-related disability worldwide.
The members and decisionmakers of the WGA are all healthcare professionals. They offer their time and expertise freely, while continuing their daily, high-paced clinical and/or research work.
WGA volunteers are world renowned experts. Their opinions are routinely sought, and their papers are regularly published and referenced.
Overall, the WGA is a source of high quality, evidence-based science that pushes the boundaries of glaucoma medicine.
The World Glaucoma Association is committed to driving glaucoma awareness by organizing the World Glaucoma Week and providing a wealth of scientific content for the larger glaucoma community, member societies, patients, and the general public.
The WGA’s role in fighting glaucoma blindness
The WGA acts in the interests of patients by providing glaucoma experts with the support and tools they need to deliver the best possible care. The WGA does this by:
- Disseminating evidence-based, scientific knowledge through the World Glaucoma Congress, 2 scientific journals, newsletters, and the Glaucoma Consensus Initiative.
- Driving glaucoma awareness by organizing the World Glaucoma Week.
- Supporting promising young ophthalmologists from developing countries with the Fellowship Program.
- Providing a wealth of scientific content, easily accessible on the WGA website, used by some 10,000 visitors each month.
