National Glaucoma Week seeks to raise awareness of the ‘silent’ eye condition—glaucoma. It is a major cause of sight loss in Australia.
The theme for this year’s National Glaucoma Week, starting 15th August, is WHY?
Glaucoma Australia asks:
The week will encourage all Australians, once they reach the age of 40, to undertake a comprehensive eye check every two years and not to take their sight for granted.
