Get that annual eye check-up done

Which one of your current problems would you exchange for blindness?

Get an annual eye check-up done if you are above 40. Takes around 10 mins to check for glaucoma. But those few minutes could make or break your life.

Because: ​
  • Most people with glaucoma have no early symptoms or pain from increased eye pressure.
  • You are losing eyesight gradually, but you don't know it until the pain starts - the eyesight you have already lost is irreversible.
  • ​Without treatment, glaucoma can cause total permanent blindness within a few years.
  • The direct cause of the blockage in the eye is as yet unknown.
  • Age and heredity have a huge part to play​. Ask your parents if anyone in the family has ever had glaucoma.
  • Even the most fit and healthy person can get glaucoma. There is nothing you can do to prevent it happening - though diabetes and other conditions could increase the chances.
  • There is a high prevalence of glaucoma in India, see article below.
  • The only way to protect oneself from losing sight to glaucoma is by early detection.
  • If the blockage is caught early enough a laser procedure can be done to prevent glaucoma and nerve damage.
