July is Glaucoma Awareness Month

To help raise awareness of glaucoma and prevent more unnecessary blindness, Glaucoma NZ is holding a nationwide Awareness Appeal in July.

Glaucoma is a significant health issue. An estimated 68,000 New Zealanders over the age of 40 already have glaucoma, and as the population ages and people continue to live longer, more people face the possibility of this devastating disease.

50% of people with glaucoma in New Zealand don’t know they have it, as it slowly steals their vision. Most people experience no symptoms until it is too late to repair the damage that has been progressively getting worse over a long period of time
The purpose of the Appeal is to highlight the risks associated with glaucoma, importance of early detection, ongoing management and treatment, as well as raising vital funds to enable Glaucoma NZ to continue to extend its free nationwide education and research initiatives.

Donation boxes containing specially designed lens cleaning cloths and pens for a donation of $3.00 each are available at participating pharmacies, optometrists, ophthalmologists, and ASB Branches around the country.

For more information visit www.glaucoma.org.nz or phone 0800 GLAUCOMA (0800 452 826).
