A new study asks the question: what if we could reverse the damage caused by Alzheimer’s disease-related proteins like tau? Learn more.
Newly released research portfolios highlight the 276 biomedical research projects funded by BrightFocus Foundation across 16 countries to defeat Alzheimer’s disease, macular degeneration, and glaucoma.
The anti-amyloid therapy will go off the market later this year.

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month, and BrightFocus Foundation is pleased to announce the 2024 schedule of Glaucoma Chats, free, accessible and interactive audio podcast conversations with leading glaucoma specialists and eye care professionals.
A BrightFocus-funded study identifies a new player that is critical to help prevent a buildup of waste in the eye that could lead to macular degeneration.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a new treatment for glaucoma, iDose® TR (travoprost intracameral implant, 75 mcg). iDose TR is a first-of-its kind treatment that is designed to provide up to three years of 24/7, continuous drug therapy directly inside the eye, helping people with glaucoma take control over the elevated eye pressure associated with this vision disease.
Medical marijuana has been shown to lower eye pressure, a key factor in glaucoma. But is it safe to use?
BrightFocus Foundation, in partnership with three other global vision loss advocacy organizations, has declared Dec. 5 as World Geographic Atrophy Day.
