Glaucoma, often referred to as the "silent thief of sight," is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss if left untreated. With no early symptoms, awareness becomes our most potent tool in the fight against this sight-stealing disease. And that is exactly why January is officially Glaucoma Awareness Month - a whole month where we want to shine a spotlight on this life-altering disease. Throughout this time, it is important we come together to educate ourselves and our communities about the importance of regular eye check-ups, early detection and the ongoing management of glaucoma. By spreading awareness, we empower individuals to take proactive steps towards preserving their vision and maintaining eye health. Together, let's make a difference in the lives of those at risk and contribute to a world where everyone has the opportunity to enjoy a clear and vibrant vision. 🌈🌍

Did you know that glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide? We're putting the spotlight on the disease commonly known as the 'sneak thief of sight' by showing you an example of what it might look like for someone living with glaucoma. It's estimated that over 300,000 Australians have glaucoma, however 50% are unaware they have it due to it developing slowly and often without any symptoms. Left untreated, glaucoma can lead to blindness. If you are experiencing changes in your vision, please seek support by speaking to your GP.

🌐 Today marks World Glaucoma Day, a time to raise awareness about this eye disease that damages the optic nerve. Glaucoma occurs when fluid builds up, increasing eye pressure and leading to nerve damage. 👁️ Recognizing the signs early is crucial: - Cloudy vision - Sudden, severe pain in one eye - Rainbow-like halos around lights - Red eyes - Swollen eyes While there's no cure, early detection is key for effective treatment. Schedule an eye check-up promptly to prevent further eye damage. Let's prioritize our eye health together. #WorldGlaucomaDay

March 12 is World Glaucoma Day. It aims to raise awareness of the disease that can silently steal our sight. 👁️ Many forms of glaucoma have no warning signs. By the time the first symptoms appear, the disease has progressed, and the damage to the optic nerve has occurred. Patients with glaucoma have difficulty with everyday activities such as driving 🚗, reading 📖, and even walking 🚶. As the disease progresses, they can't keep their jobs. The disease, which can only be slowed down, takes a toll on their quality of life. It’s important to take care of your eyes. ✔️ Get regular eye exams after the age of 40. #glaucoma #diseaseawareness #ophthalmology #WGW2024 #WeAreMedis
