World Glaucoma Week

World Glaucoma Week is a global initiative organised by the World Glaucoma Association. We invite patients, eye care providers, health officials and the public to join forces in organising 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.
