As Glaucoma Australia's Senior Patient Educator, her primary role is to educate patients on glaucoma and providing them with emotional support throughout their journey. Sapna and her team endeavour to increase appointments and treatment adherence, and help detect undiagnosed cases. All this work helps prevent irreversible blindness from glaucoma and maintains a positive quality of life for people living with glaucoma.
Sapna will be undertaking post graduate studies to become a qualified Counsellor. She believes her qualifications as an eye care professional, combined with a formal qualification with psychotherapy will greatly help her role as a Patient Educator and benefit the individuals and families supported by Glaucoma Australia.
