The Hindu
On World Glaucoma Week to be observed from March 7-13, opthalmologists in Hyderabad would organise awareness sessions on glaucoma, a name given to dozens of blinding eye conditions with a common feature of damage to optic nerve that gives one vision, colour vision and side vision.
“It is the latter that is preferentially damaged in glaucoma in a very slow manner such that the patient does not realise in the early stages until blindness creeps up,” the doctors stated.
