World Glaucoma Day
World Glaucoma Day
World Glaucoma Day, on the 12th of March each year, raises awareness of the fight against glaucoma, a group of eye conditions that can steal sight without warning. As part of World Glaucoma Week, today is a friendly prompt for folks to get their eyes checked out as soon as possible. Catching it early can make a vital difference, slowing the march of this potentially sight-robbing condition.
But today isn’t just a health reminder – it’s a call for more understanding and awareness. It nudges us to remember that something like glaucoma doesn’t pick and choose – it can affect anyone, of all backgrounds. Recognising this day helps ensure that everyone, whatever their story, gets a fair chance at preventing avoidable blindness. By joining in the conversation, you can help create a world where no one’s left in the dark.
