Who we are

United by a commitment to protect sight.

A national professional society advancing glaucoma knowledge, collaboration and advocacy across Nigeria.

Our purpose

Turning shared expertise into stronger glaucoma care.

The Glaucoma Society of Nigeria brings together ophthalmologists and eye-care professionals with a special interest in glaucoma. We foster professional exchange, public education, research and partnerships that can improve prevention of avoidable vision loss.

We believe progress comes from listening to patients, strengthening clinical capability, sharing evidence and working with institutions across every level of the health system.
