Glaucoma experiences shared for awareness week

Glaucoma UK has called for people to share their experiences of living with the disease ahead of Glaucoma Awareness Week 2023 from June 26 to July 2.

The charity sought to raise awareness of glaucoma and said over 700,000 people had glaucoma but half of them were unaware they had it.

A form was created on the Glaucoma UK website for people to complete the sentence, ‘My glaucoma…’ and contributions will be used in marketing for the campaign. Experiences could be positive or negative and about their own diagnosis or the diagnosis of a loved one.
