World Glaucoma Week

King Faisal Specialist Hospital- Riyadh

Awareness
Attend

The ophthalmology department in King Faisal Specialist Hospital- Riyadh, is organizing a Glaucoma Campaign through an exhibition that includes various stations and booths focusing in Glaucoma causes, definition in adult and pediatric, and medications for glaucoma, where visitors will have the opportunity to measure their intraocular pressure with presence of number of ophthalmic and pharmacists to answer their questions related to eye health.

 

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness. There are no early symptoms and it isn’t until the condition is fairly advanced that people recognize that there is something wrong with their vision.

Once vision is lost, it cannot be recovered. A simple eye health check can pick up the condition early and treatment, which most commonly includes taking eye drops, means most people will maintain sight for life.
