🌍 Today is World Glaucoma Day! 🌍

Did you know? Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide—but with early detection and treatment, blindness from glaucoma is preventable.

This World Glaucoma Day, let’s come together to raise awareness and encourage routine eye screenings, especially for those at higher risk.

Remember, vision lost to glaucoma cannot be restored, but early action can protect what remains. 💡

👁️ Take a step today—schedule your eye screening and remind your loved ones to do the same!

Many people lose their sight to glaucoma without ever realising they had it. This eye condition develops quietly and can cause permanent damage before you notice any changes to your vision. Knowing about glaucoma and checking your eyes regularly is one of the best ways to protect your sight.

🧐 What does vision with glaucoma look like?

In early stages, glaucoma may cause no noticeable vision loss.

But as it progresses, it leads to tunnel vision, where peripheral vision fades, leaving only central vision intact. 🚨

Without treatment, glaucoma can lead to complete blindness. Don’t wait until it’s too late—schedule regular screenings to protect your sight.

Thank you Good Things Guy for raising awareness about Glaucoma

Many South Africans aren't aware they have glaucoma. Only 1 in 20 people know they have the eye condition that damages the optic nerve.

Glaucoma often has no symptoms in its early stages. By the time you notice vision loss, the damage is already done.

Regular eye exams, including intraocular pressure checks and optic nerve assessments, can save your sight!

✅ Who’s at risk?
🔹 Age 40+
🔹 Family history of glaucoma
🔹 High eye pressure
🔹 Diabetes or hypertension

Don't wait for symptoms—early detection saves vision!
