Announcing the 2nd Annual CARES Conference A Year of Progress
Through Research
As you may know, Glaucoma is the most common
cause of irreversible blindness in the world, however, if detected
and treated early, Glaucoma-induced blindness can almost always
be prevented.
That is why the Glaucoma Service Foundation to Prevent Blindness
is hosting the 2nd Annual Glaucoma Service Foundation CARES* Conference
(*Committed to Awareness through Research, Education and Support)
on Saturday, September 20, 2008, at Wills Eye Institute from 9:00
AM to 2:30 PM - to further educate those suffering from Glaucoma
and those at risk.
This exciting event will be held on the 8th floor of Wills Eye
Institute and will once again provide information sessions and
lectures by physicians on the Wills Eye Glaucoma Service, as well
as resources available to patients living with glaucoma. Each
session will end with questions and answers. Representatives from
pharmaceutical companies with patient assistance programs, Low
Vision Services, Associated Services for the Blind, The Glaucoma
Research Center and assisted living facilities with low vision
services, will all be on hand.
The day will begin with a continental breakfast and exhibition.
Topics include: An Overview of Glaucoma, Quality of Life Issues,
Adherence/ Compliance, New Medications and New Surgical Trends,
Results of Population Studies, Pediatric Glaucoma, and Intraocular
Pressure Reconsidered.
