Welcome to the Chandler Grant Glaucoma SocietyA Message from the President
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.
