Quebec Glaucome Fondation
Our Mission
- Improve glaucoma awareness in Quebec
- Inform the people who are affected by it
- Promote glaucoma research in Quebec
The foundation wants to educate the Quebec public about this disease to encourage people at risk to be screened for early diagnosis. The foundation wants to promote and help scientific and medical research on the causes and treatment of glaucoma. At the genetic level, we want to look for the elements involved in glaucoma and specify the chromosomal regions that may play a role in the onset of this disease. This would help identify the population at risk and thus encourage early diagnosis.
