Glaucoma can sneak up on you.
Because of it’s gradual nature, and its lack of noticeable symptoms in the early stages, Glaucoma is sometimes called the “silent thief of sight”.

Over time, it causes increased pressure within the eye that can lead to optic nerve damage. If left untreated, it can eventually lead to irreversible vision loss.

👁️Preventable, if caught early
Regular eye examinations are key to stopping glaucoma. With early detection, we can offer treatment options, including medication or surgery, to effectively manage the condition and slow its progression.

This year, our Auckland Eye Pacers are supporting Glaucoma NZ as they participate in this years Round the Bays. Your donations will help fund glaucoma research and education.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness in New Zealand, yet only 50% of people with glaucoma are aware they have it. With the right treatment, 98% of people with glaucoma will be able to keep their sight.

Glaucoma NZ helps provide people with sight by:

🔹Enhancing public awareness:
Early detection of glaucoma and its risk factors is critical to minimising the chance of vision loss and blindness. Glaucoma NZ initiates awareness programmes to get people monitoring and looking after their eyesight.

🔹Supporting and informing:
Glaucoma NZ publishes free educational material and resources, holds patient symposium meetings across the country, and develops community support groups for those diagnosed with glaucoma.

🔹Educating eye health workers:
Glaucoma NZ’s Glaucoma Professional Education Programme, as well as other professional educational services such as GP Arena, promote high quality eye care services across the public and private sectors.

🔹Supporting & funding research:
Research is the key to providing the best care for glaucoma patients and to finding improved treatments or a cure. Glaucoma NZ supports some of the best research in the country into glaucoma & eye health.

Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that causes irreversible damage to the optic nerve, and in its most common form, it shows no early symptoms, meaning many people don’t realise anything is wrong until permanent vision loss has already begun.

Because early glaucoma is silent, getting your eyes checked regularly is one of the most important ways to protect your vision.

Glaucoma NZ provides vital, community‑funded support and education to help New Zealanders understand their diagnosis, manage treatment, and stay connected.
