World Glaucoma Day

March 12, Tuesday

World Glaucoma Day is an annual event held on March 12 to raise awareness about glaucoma, spread information about the risks of the disease, and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.

Goals and Objectives
Raise awareness. Many people are unaware of glaucoma or do not understand the importance of getting screened early.

Educate on symptoms and risks. Glaucoma is usually asymptomatic in its early stages, which makes it dangerous. One of the most popular methods of prevention is regular eye pressure testing.

Early diagnosis. The earlier the disease is detected, the easier it can be controlled. It is important for people, especially older people and those with a family history, to have regular eye exams.

World Glaucoma Day is an important reminder for people around the world to take care of their vision and have regular medical check-ups to prevent eye diseases.
