The purpose of this App is to enhance understanding of glaucoma by using short video tutorials. The App will include glaucoma eye drop medication reminders, a short video tutorial which aims to improve understanding of how visual field testing should be performed, how to administer eye drops and a feature that will enable participants to store and organize testing results using a mobile device.
