Glaucoma Awareness Week
That this House acknowledges the importance of raising awareness about glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide; notes that glaucoma often presents with no early symptoms and can go undiagnosed until significant vision loss has occurred; welcomes Glaucoma Week as an opportunity to highlight the importance of regular eye screenings and early detection; recognises the vital role of healthcare professionals in educating the public about glaucoma risk factors, including age, family history, ethnicity, and certain medical conditions; calls on the Government to support initiatives aimed at improving access to eye health services, funding for glaucoma research, and public education campaigns; and urges the promotion of Glaucoma Week activities to encourage individuals to have regular eye examinations to prevent avoidable blindness.
