Glaucoma UK was accepting applications from clinical and non-clinical researchers for the Open Call Research Award 2024, which offers up to £50,000 in funding for glaucoma-related projects.

Applications were welcomed by June 25 from established and new investigators, including those from fields outside of vision research, with the aim of enhancing understanding and combatting glaucoma.

Joanne Creighton, chief executive of Glaucoma UK, said: ‘We hope this award will also encourage and diversify the range of glaucoma-related research projects. We’re looking forward to seeing the positive impact that the successful projects will have on the field and wellbeing of those living with glaucoma.’
