World Glaucoma Week

World Glaucoma Week is observed in March 7-13 each year. World Glaucoma Week is a global initiative of the World Glaucoma Association (WGA) in order to raise awareness on glaucoma. Through a series of engaging worldwide activities, patients, eye-care providers, health officials and the general public are invited to contribute to sight preservation. The goal is to alert everyone to have regular eye (and optic nerve) checks in order to detect glaucoma as early as possible.

The objective of World Glaucoma Week is to raise awareness about the disease ‘glaucoma’ and encourage the general public to go and get tested.
