Participants Needed for Congenital Glaucoma Study

The Australian and New Zealand Registry of Advanced Glaucoma (ANZRAG) – one of the world’s largest glaucoma registries – is calling for study participants for a range of projects exploring congenital and childhood glaucoma across Australia and New Zealand.

ANZRAG is seeking infants, children, and adults with glaucoma of all stages (suspect to advanced) to participate in the research, as well as those with related conditions, including anterior segment dysgenesis, aniridia, and nanophthalmos.

As part of the project, participants who are identified as having a genetic diagnosis related to their (or their child’s) glaucoma, will have their results confirmed before being returned to the participant or their ophthalmologist.

The registry, which has more than 9,000 participants, is led by ophthalmologist Professor Jamie Craig from Flinders University, with genetic testing coordinated by genetic counsellor Dr Emmanuelle Souzeau.

Refer patients via the ANZRAG website (anzrag.com). Alternatively, email info@anzrag.com or phone (AUS) 08 8432 4601.
