Full description Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, and we have recently developed a tool for predicting an individual's risk of developing glaucoma. We will use this tool to identify those at greatest risk of developing glaucoma, and preemptively treat high risk individuals, with the aim of preventing glaucoma blindness.
