"When I found out that I had glaucoma it came as a shock. Of course, I was afraid that this meant I was going to be blind. I started researching and while researching, I found this community. Here were people going through or having gone through the same thing I was. The support and information I got helped to ease my fears and helped me to realize that though my life was changed, I could still do the things I love to do, though maybe differently. This disease could only take over my life if I let it. This group has helped me to live with glaucoma. Because of it, I know that I'm not alone."

"Thanks The Glaucoma Community team for all the useful information you send us every week! Now, I'm more confident and hopeful than ever before. Besides the clinical and scientific information I receive, I learn from other people with the same kind of health problems and difficulties."

"My battle with glaucoma was a five-year battle. As I moved along, I relied a great deal on information from the Glaucoma Community. In the end, I ended up at U. C. Davis having my left eye removed. That transition was made so much easier by you giving me information that made the whole process more understandable. Still depending on your help, after all I still have one good eye but you never know what is around the corner. Thank you so much."

"I found TGC via an article on the Glaucoma Research Foundation's website. Your platform has provided several informative articles about glaucoma, as well as allowing patients to dialogue with others traveling the same path. Connection & information are important tools for understanding glaucoma."

"Today I have learned an abundance of knowledge about my glaucoma. I am prepared to get into some of the studies to help my severe glaucoma and get off some of the eye drops meds. I have had several surgeries, and the pressures did not lower. Pressure is currently unstable. "

"Last year The Glaucoma Community was recommended to me as a way to educate myself and connect with other patients. I signed up and have appreciated what the app can offer, including helpful articles from credible sources, and engaging with other patients to offer and receive support. I appreciate everyone who dedicates their time to educating and supporting patients, including those who create content and engage with TGC."
