World Glaucoma Week happens exactly during the Basic Science Course in Ophthalmology, provided by the University of Sao Paulo, for 80 medical doctors who are starting their training in Ophthalmology.  All these new young Ophthalmologists will experience a simulation to demonstrate how it is to live with low vision or blindness, provided by Orientation and Mobility specialists. This experience aims to call the attention to the importance of Glaucoma diagnosis and proper treatment.
