National Glaucoma Week 15 - 21 August 2010

National Glaucoma Week seeks to raise awareness of the 'silent' eye condition - glaucoma. It is a major cause of sight loss in Australia.

About 3 percent of Australians over age 40 have glaucoma (approx. 300,000) but, because there are generally no warning signs, only about half of them have been diagnosed.

The week will encourage all Australians, once they reach the age of 40, to undertake a comprehensive eye check every two years and not to take their sight for granted.
