Imagine if you could save someone’s sight

As someone diagnosed with glaucoma - you can!

Anyone directly related to you – brother, sister, son, daughter - is 25% more likely to develop glaucoma too. And friends over the age of 50 are also at an increased risk.

Because you’re personally aware of the consequences of leaving glaucoma undiagnosed, you have the opportunity to save those you care about from glaucoma blindness. 

Ask your family and friends to get their eyes tested. It's quick and easy and could just save their sight!
