15.01.2022 Its Glaucoma Week! Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Unfortunately 50% of people with glaucoma don’t know that they have it. In r...ecent years, improvements in technologies that test the eye have allowed eye care clinicians to detect glaucoma more effectively. For this to happen, people still need to see their eye care provider for regular checks and to maintain follow up. If it has been over a year since your last visit to your optometrist, it would be worthwhile having another check up.
