THE FIRST CFC TEAM MADE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE FIELD OF GLAUCOMA AND HELPED TO TRANSFORM THE UNDERSTANDING OF GLAUCOMA FROM AN EYE DISEASE TO A NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASE.TAKING THE FINDINGS FROM THE FIRST TEAM, A SECOND CFC TEAM WAS CREATED TO DEVELOP NEW BIOMARKERS TO DIAGNOSE AND MANAGE GLAUCOMA MORE EFFECTIVELY BEFORE VISION IS LOST AND OPEN PATHWAYS TO NEW TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR PATIENTS. A third CFC Team was launched in January to discover ways to restore vision lost to glaucoma by restoring, regenerating or replacing the retinal ganglion cells damaged in glaucoma.THE ORGANIZATION ALSO PROVIDES FUNDING FOR INNOVATIVE PILOT STUDIES IN GLAUCOMA RESEARCH.
