Glaucoma Day

The week of March 6-12, 2011, was declared as World Glaucoma Awareness Week in order to maximize global and local awareness efforts in the best interest of glaucoma patients. Carrying the theme "Don't Lose Sight of Your Family," the event was designed to remind the other family members of a glaucoma patient to go see eye professionals so that they can prevent the occurrence of glaucoma and to prevent visual impairment and vision loss.

Let us live with all our vision intact. Consume diets rich in Vitamin A, minerals, and zinc. Quit smoking. Protect the eyes against direct exposure to the sun. And get regular check-ups.

We celebrated the World Glaucoma Day 2011 at Ayodhya Eye Hospital (Base Camp), Tulsibari Parikrma Marg on 12/03/2011, conducting Free Eye Checkup for Glaucoma Patients.

This year on March 12, 2011, World Glaucoma day was celebrated in AEH by free screening and investigation of patients.

Dr. A.K. Sinha Medical Director and Glaucoma Specialist at Ayodhya Eye Hospital points out who can be affected and the general symptoms:

  • If you are above 40 years of age (risk increases with age)
  • If you have a family history of glaucoma
  • People with high intra ocular pressure
  • People with diabetes
  • People with short sightedness (myopia)
  • Do not neglect any eye injury as it might lead to glaucoma in later stages
  • If you experience pain or redness in the eye
  • If you are frequently changing your spectacle prescription get your eye tested for glaucoma
  • People who have used steroid group of medicines in the past
