An app designed to provide education and support for people living with glaucoma has been launched by Allergan during World Glaucoma Week (March 7-13).
Glaucoma in Perspective was designed to help patients understand the impact of glaucoma, improve quality of life and reduce disease progression by promoting treatment adherence.
Allergan consulted with Professor David Crabb and his team at City, University of London on the development of the app, as well as Glaucoma UK.
Crabb said: ‘If you have glaucoma or someone you know has glaucoma, this app has been developed for you. Patient information for glaucoma suffers from being complicated and poorly presented. We think Glaucoma in Perspective offers a fresh look. We hope it will help people understand how and why their vision could worsen if they don’t adhere to treatment.’
