It was only thanks to pioneering laser surgery at the time that his sight was saved from what was an acute angle-closure glaucoma attack.

If you have glaucoma, those directly related to you – brothers, sisters, sons, daughters – have an almost 1 in 4 chance of developing glaucoma too. And friends over the age of 50 are also at an increased risk. Start a conversation and ask your family and friends to book an eye test.
Our ‘Don’t be blindsided by glaucoma’ campaign highlights the common risk factors associated with glaucoma and urges those at risk to have their eye health checked by an optometrist every 2 years to prevent the irreversible damage caused by glaucoma if left untreated.
You can save sight by improving early detection and supporting those already diagnosed.
