Hi Sherry, Here’s a support group in NYC: The Glaucoma Support & Education Group.  Meets the 3rd Saturday of every month (except Dec, July, Aug) at:  New York Eye & Ear Infirmary, 310 East 14 St.  (at 2nd Ave).   There is a speaker at every meeting; topics are designed to impart information and help members cope with this disease.   The next meeting is on Sept 18th @ 10:30 AM.   Meetings run till noon. The topic is: ‘Medication and You.  What You Need to Know For Best Results’.  Speaker: Raquel Huruta Diaz, MD.  Fellow, NYEEI. This group functions in partnership with the Glaucoma Foundation. Members receive quarterly newsletters summarizing the presentations, so those unable to attend can still benefit.   A donation of $20 per year is requested of members to help cover expenses. For more information go to: http://www.glaucomafoundation.org/info.php?i=42 Cheers,  Ann To email: replace ‘REMOVE’ with ‘b’ in email address.

While I am new to this NG, I am familiar with glaucoma. One of the best information resources for glaucoma that I have found is the Wills Glaucoma Service & Foundation sponsered by the Wills Eye Hospital of Philadelphia.

Are any of you in a glaucoma specific support group?  If so, please let us know about your group!  Where does it meet? How often? What kind of things do you do in the meetings?  Who is sponsoring it? Maybe there’s someone on the list who is looking for a support group in their area and by publicizing your group, you might be able to help them! Sherry
