A split social media graphic for World Glaucoma Week. On the left, a close-up photo features Essex SLC member, Cathy, smiling at the camera. On the right, a dark teal text box with white writing reads: " Glaucoma awareness is really crucial because it is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness, but it often has no early symptoms.” Beneath the quote is the Sight Loss Councils logo.
Cathy from Essex SLC was diagnosed with glaucoma at 11 and told she might lose her sight in her 30s or 40s. Now 50, she still has a good level of sight thanks to consistent care and speaking up about her eye health.
This #WorldGlaucomaWeek, help raise awareness and prioritise eye tests.
