World Glaucoma Week is a global initiative organized by the World Glaucoma Association. We invite patients, eye care providers, health officials and the public to join forces in organizing awareness activities worldwide. Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness, and distinct challenges may be present in different regions of the world. Our goal is to alert everyone to have regular eye and optic nerve checks to detect glaucoma as early as possible because there are available treatments for all forms of glaucoma to prevent visual loss.
This year’s theme “Glaucoma Care for Every Eye, Everywhere” focuses on bringing communities worldwide to fight together against glaucoma blindness. Become involved and be a part of the activities organized over the globe. Help us raise awareness worldwide and learn more about glaucoma.
Thank you all for being a part of this global initiative. By joining forces, we have made a strong impact in glaucoma screening and public education. Of course, our mission doesn’t stop here. We will continue our journey of raising awareness about glaucoma and urging people to get tested.
Did you know?
Most people with glaucoma are not aware of it: most glaucoma patients have zero symptoms.
Catch the disease early and you have a great chance of preserving your vision for the years to come.
Your activity will help raise glaucoma awareness. Submit your activity, and start making a difference.
