Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide, and early detection plays a crucial role in preventing vision loss. In light of World Glaucoma Week 2025, The Eye Foundation is taking a significant step forward in raising awareness and promoting early diagnosis.
Dr. Chitra Ramamurthy, Medical Director of The Eye Foundation, emphasizes the importance of timely eye check-ups and treatments, stating:
Glaucoma is a silent thief of sight. Since it progresses without symptoms in the early stages, many people do not realize they have it until significant vision loss has occurred. Our goal is to create awareness and encourage routine eye screenings, especially among high-risk individuals.
