Glaucoma is a multifactorial optic neuropathy causing irreversible blindness, with rising prevalence the world over. If detected early, it can be treated but majority of people are not aware of this disease especially as it is asymptomatic. Methods of improving awareness have been instituted, like the world glaucoma week, in the world. We actioned a simple method to involve heath care workers and patients reporting for all ocular ailments to make them aware of this debilitating disease.
