In observance of National Glaucoma Awareness Month, January, Prevent Blindness is offering a variety of resources for glaucoma patients and their caregivers at http://www.PreventBlindness.org/glaucoma. The resources include educational content, fact sheets, and shareable graphics.

Among the available resources is The Glaucoma Community, which provides users with a newsfeed on glaucoma, a community chat, a Facebook page, educational materials in several languages, and more. The Glaucoma Community may be accessed by visiting the aforementioned website and looking under "Glaucoma" in the list on the left side of the page.

Additionally, Prevent Blindness recently updated and redesigned its "Living Well With Low Vision" resource, created for patients, caregivers, and health care professionals. The site offers free directories, a library of self-help guides, downloadable apps, and news that may be relevant to people living with glaucoma and significant visual impairment.

Also new this year is a free webpage and downloadable fact sheet, "Glaucoma Financial Assistance Information," designed specifically to help people receive access to the eye care services they need to help save their sight.
