The Glaucoma Foundation

Glaucoma affects millions, yet many people only hear about it after a diagnosis. The Glaucoma Foundation works from an office on Maiden Lane to change that. Their efforts focus on research, education, and support for those managing the condition.

At 80 Maiden Ln Suite 700 in Peck Slip, the foundation provides resources for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers. Programs include public awareness campaigns, funding for scientific studies, and tools to help individuals track their eye health. The organization also hosts events to share updates on treatment options and prevention strategies.

While glaucoma remains a leading cause of irreversible blindness, early detection and ongoing research offer hope. The foundation’s work connects patients with specialists, offers guidance on managing symptoms, and advocates for better access to care. Their materials are available online, but questions can be directed to their office.

For more information or to discuss their programs, call (212) 285-0080. Directions to their Peck Slip location are available here. If you’re in Lower Manhattan, it’s a quick walk from the South Street Seaport.
