Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common type of glaucoma affecting 1 in 40 people in the UK. It is characterised by a gradual reduction in peripheral then central vision. Unfortunately the sight loss is irreversible and without symptoms until damage is advanced, making early diagnosis essential for treating this preventable condition. There is strong evidence for a major genetic component in the development of POAG. Yorkshire Eye Research is to fund research in 2012 to identify the genetic component, so that screening by means of a simple DNA test can be devised guaranteeing early diagnosis and successful treatment. To date we have raised £5,230 of the £14,995 required for this research. The peer reviewed project is to be carried out by Dr Manir Ali and Professor Chris Inglehearn at the Leeds Institute of Molecular Medicine. if you would like to make a contribution to this appeal, please contact Susannah on
