Early detection of glaucoma and its risk factors is critical to eliminate blindness. Glaucoma NZ initiates awareness programmes to achieve this goal.

Glaucoma NZ publishes education material, holds public meetings and  and maintains a web site.

Educates eye health workers to assure high quality services

Glaucoma NZ promotes high quality glaucoma services in both the public and the private sectors through professional educational activities including a restricted access web site.

Promotes research into glaucoma in New Zealand
