# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Science Behind Glaucoma
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 17 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Tue, 17 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Did you know glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it can progress for years with few—or no—early warning signs? More than 3 million people in the United States currently live with glaucoma, and that number continues to grow as our population ages.

Take a virtual coffee break with the Medical College of Wisconsin and the Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment as we chat with Joel Miesfeld, PhD, Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences and Assistant Professor of Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Anatomy at the Medical College of Wisconsin.

We’ll explore the different types of glaucoma, uncover how the eye’s internal cellular networks shape vision development and survival, and look ahead to an exciting frontier: the future possibility of regenerating damaged vision.

Presented in partnership with the Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment.
