Support Groups and Counseling

Educating people with glaucoma is essential for medical treatment to be successful. The person who understands the chronic (long-term), potentially progressive nature of glaucoma is more likely to comply with medical treatment.

Numerous handouts about glaucoma are available, two of which are listed below. 

• "Understanding and Living with Glaucoma: A Reference Guide for People with Glaucoma and Their Families," Glaucoma Research Foundation, (800) 826-6693.

• "Glaucoma Patient Resource: Living More Comfortably with Glaucoma," Prevent Blindness America, (800) 331-2020.
