The Middle of the World is a renowned landmark in Quito, Ecuador, marking the precise location where the Equator line divides our planet into Northern and Southern hemispheres. This symbolic monument embodies pride and national identity, highlighting Ecuador’s exceptional geographic distinction as the only country through which the Equator directly passes.

As we commemorate World Glaucoma Week, let us draw inspiration from Quito’s Equator monument and its powerful message of unity and global awareness. By promoting eye health and supporting those affected by glaucoma, we can move towards a future with clearer vision and more excellent quality of life for everyone. Uniting for a Glaucoma-Free World.
