WORLD GLAUCOMA WEEK March 12-18, 2023

World Glaucoma Week takes place from March 12 to 18, 2023. At Eye Centre Prague, we are joining the glaucoma week and reminding our patients of the importance of preventing glaucoma. During Glaucoma Week, you can have your intraocular pressure measured for free and without an appointment. However, we recommend scheduling a comprehensive examination, including retinal assessment using OCT angiography!

GLAUCOMA - GREEN CATARACT

Glaucoma is one of the common eye diseases, but it is very serious and is often referred to as the "SILENT THIEF OF SIGHT." This is because, in glaucoma, there is a gradual degeneration and death of the optic nerve, but patients do not experience any symptoms (up to 50% of patients are unaware of their condition).

Increased intraocular pressure is one of the risk factors for the disease. However, the exact cause of glaucoma remains unknown.

The importance of prevention

In glaucoma, patients feel no pain or other difficulties, leading to significant damage to the optic nerve that can result in complete vision loss going unnoticed. Therefore, everyone aged 40 and over should undergo regular comprehensive eye examinations at least every 3 to 4 years.
