Early detection and intervention can halt vision loss for many\, although better treatments are still needed for the people who go on to lose their vision. \nFind out more about how glaucoma researchers at CERA are leading the way towards new treatments at this informative\, free\, community forum either in person or online. \nYou’ll gain insights and a better understanding of how new treatments and therapies for glaucoma are discovered. What you learn today may just save someone’s sight tomorrow. \nAt the community forum\, you’ll hear from: \n\nDr Luis Alarcon-Martinez – How blood supply to the retina may contribute to vision loss in glaucoma.\nAssociate Professor Zhichao Wu – The discovery of new treatments for glaucoma and prevention.\nDr Jennifer Fan Gaskin – Preventing scarring after glaucoma surgery.\nDr Flora Hui – What’s a neuroprotectant and how do they work?\n\n  \nStay up to date\, be informed\, tell us what matters most to you about glaucoma research and help us create a future free from vision loss and blindness. \nA light lunch will be provided after the event. \nREGISTER TO ATTEND \nRegistrations for both in person tickets and livestream access are essential for this event. If you choose to register for the livestream\, connection details will be emailed to you the week before the event. If you have trouble registering\, please call CERA directly on 03 9929 8360. \nFor information on getting to the Martin Family Auditorium at the Eye + Ear Hospital\, please visit Public Transport Victoria journey planner. \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n Meet our presenters\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n\n \n People\n\n \n Dr Luis Alarcon-Martinez\n\n \n \n Dr Luis Alarcon-Martinez investigates how blood is distributed in the retina to help prevent or treat retinal neurodegenerative diseases. \n\n\n \n Read More\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n\n \n People\n\n \n Associate Professor Zhichao Wu\n\n \n \n Associate Professor Zhichao Wu is a clinician-scientist who leads CERA’s clinical biomarkers research\, whose research focuses on expediting the discovery of new treatments and prevention of irreversible vision loss from conditions such as age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma. \n\n\n \n Read More\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n\n \n People\n\n \n Dr Jennifer Fan Gaskin\n\n \n \n Dr Jennifer Fan Gaskin is a clinician-scientist glaucoma specialist and leads CERA’s ocular fibrosis research. \n\n\n \n Read More\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n\n \n People\n\n \n Dr Flora Hui\n\n \n \n Dr Flora Hui is a clinician scientist with a research interest in neuroprotectants for treating glaucoma. \n\n\n \n Read More URL:https://www.cera.org.au/tribe-events/gains-in-glaucoma-research-community-forum/ CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.cera.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Glaucoma-event-1080x1080-3.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
