Glaucoma is a leading cause of
blindness in Canada stated a
report from the Canadian Insti-
tute For The Blind. This eye
disease was responsible for 10%
of all cases of blindness last year.
It need not have been as
glaucoma can be detected by a
simple test and, in most cases,
can be treated with medication or
surgery.
In order to detect this disease,
a glaucoma survey will be held at
Wingham on the C.N.LB. Ontario
Mobile Eye Care Unit. The brief,
painless test is available free of,
charge to the people of this
community.
"Glaucoma is a serious eye
condition in which the pressure of
the eye is increased. It is caused
by abnormal pressure in the eye,
which slowly damages the optic
nerve and retina."
"In the early stages of glau-
coma, there may be few or no
symptoms but there are warning
signals in that you may note that:,
spectacles, even new ones, do not
seem to help; you have increasing
difficulty seeing in the dark; side
vision is diminished in one or both
eyes."
"There is rarely pain involved
and often the gradual loss of sight
is not noted at the outset."
PVictims of glaucoma may
eventually notice blurred eyesight,
rings around lights and loss of
side vision. The initial loss cannot
,be regained but it is possible to
prevent further damage. If glau-
coma is neglected, vision is
progressivly reduced and the
person becomes blind."
"However, if detected early,
chronic glaucoma can usually be
effectively controlled by the sim-
ple use of drops. In the later
stages, surgical procedures are
used to assist natural drainage
withing the eye".
The Important Thing is to
Discover Glaucoma Early
The survey is a special Preven-
tion of Blindness Programme, •
sponsored by the Huron County
Health Unit, C.N.I.B., the section
