From the 10th till the 16th of March, 2024, there will be an World Glaucoma Week, an initiative of the World Glaucoma Association to raise worldwide public awareness of glaucoma. Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible visual impairment and blindness in the world. Nevertheless, it is a relatively unknown eye disease. Hence the initiative of the World Glaucoma Week!! During the Glaucoma Week 2024 The Rotterdam Eye Hospital will organize meetings for glaucoma patients and everybody who is interested in glaucoma. There are lectures by an ophthalmologist about the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma, the implications for daily life of the diagnosis glaucoma, the importance of adherence to medical therapy and how eye drops can be effectively applied. There will be a workshop how to use eye drops correctly. The Royal Eye Association Visio will discuss other practical and psychosocial issues. During all lectures questions can be asked.
