COS has received an educational grant of $100,000 from Pfizer Canada Inc. for the development of a national glaucoma awareness campaign. The first phase of the project includes a public poll to determine the general public’s awareness and attitudes about glaucoma. This will be followed by a media campaign with a spring 2005 launch. This is a new initiative from COS intended to increase the public’s knowledge about this disease, often referred to as the “thief in the night.”
