Glaucoma Australia
March 2023

When driving one afternoon, I happened to close my right eye and I realised that I had blurred vision in my left eye.

I thought I needed new glasses – I had, up to then, only needed glasses for reading. 

I made an appointment with OPSM a few days later and was told I had glaucoma in my left eye. Two hours later I was being treated by an eye specialist!

When talking to my sister in the UK, she casually mentioned that my mother had glaucoma too. I now make sure my son and daughter have regular check ups.
