Welcome to the Chandler Grant Glaucoma Society

A Message from the President

Since our founding in 1982, members of the Society have carried forward the ethical and moral values of our esteemed namesakes, Dr. Paul Chandler and Dr. W. Morton Grant.

A key focus of our Society is the ongoing effort to prevent blindness from glaucoma through groundbreaking research, the development of clinical applications of scientific knowledge, and raising public awareness of this sight-threatening disease.

Our membership has grown from the original fellows who trained directly under Drs. Chandler and Grant to now include subsequent generations of glaucoma specialists who share their legacy. As we look to the future, we are committed to expanding our Society to include all who have trained within this lineage, ensuring that their principles and passion continue to thrive.

If you trained under the Chandler or Grant lineage, we encourage you to JOIN US! Your membership strengthens our Society, fosters collaboration, and upholds the rich tradition of excellence in glaucoma care.

Sincerely,

Peter A. Netland, MD, PhD

Peter A. Netland, MD, PhD | President

DAVID L. EPSTEIN CLINICIAN-SCIENTIST RESEARCH AWARD

The CGGS created this award to honor Dr. Epstein, who is widely considered to be one of the most influential leaders in the world of glaucoma and glaucoma research over the past 40 years. The award is a small way to honor his commitment to the scientific understanding and cure of glaucoma through the support of promising clinician-scientists in research environments. As Joel Schuman, MD, past-president, CGGS, once wrote in a tribute to Dr. Epstein, his “greatest legacy is the army of clinician-scientists whom he inspired throughout his years.” Continue reading.

Nominations accepted through December 16!

Learn About Glaucoma

Glaucoma is an eye disease that has been called the "sneak thief of sight" because permanent damage to the eye can occur before patient even notices symptoms. That is why early detection and management of this chronic disease is so important.
