>GLAUCOMA FOUNDATION  GRANTS-IN-AID
>The sponsor funds research to determine the causes of glaucoma, to improve 
>methods of treatment, and ultimately, to develop cures for the various 
>causes of glaucoma. The two areas of focus are: Optic Nerve Rescue and 
>Restoration-Research into new approaches designed to protect the optic 
>nerve against glaucomatous damage, to restore lost vision lost to glaucoma 
>and eventually reverse blindness by restoring or regenerating the function 
>of the optic nerve cells, and to explore the feasibility of achieving 
>transplantation of optic nerve cells.  Initial grant funding for a 
>one-year period is $US35,000.
