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.

It’s #WorldGlaucomaWeek

Glaucoma is often called the “sneaking thief of sight” because vision loss begins slowly in peripheral vision and many patients don’t notice symptoms until the disease is advanced.

A dark blue text box featuring a quote from a Sight Loss Council member. The quote reads: ‘You may think your vision is good, that you don't need glsses, and that you feel no pain - but glaucoma might still be affecting your eyes. Get your eyes tested - it's simple and painless.’ The Sight Loss Councils logo and tagline ‘A vision for change’ appear underneath. To the right of the quote, overlapping the white text box, is a photo of Geoff, who is standing against a red wall.

It’s #WorldGlaucomaWeek 👀

Geoff from Nottinghamshire Sight Loss Council was diagnosed in his early 20s after years of undetected glaucoma and needed surgery within days. 40+ years on, regular checks and treatment help him manage his sight.

Eye tests matter – even if your vision feels fine.
