2020 Glaucoma Week
B-I-G “Beat Invisible Glaucoma"
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can cause vision loss and blindness by damaging a nerve in the back of your eye called the optic nerve. It runs in families and can even skip generations. Glaucoma is no respecter of age, gender, race or spiritual back ground. We are all at risk.
The symptoms can start so slowly that you may not notice them.
The only way to find out if you have glaucoma is to get a comprehensive dilated eye exam. For you see At first, glaucoma doesn’t usually have any symptoms. That’s why half the people with the diseases don’t even know they have it.
There’s no cure for glaucoma, but early treatment can often stop the damage and protect your vision.

Studies have shown people most at risk for developing the condition:

• Are of African American or Hispanic/Latino descent
• Are over 40
• Have a family history of glaucoma
• Have poor vision
• Have diabetes
• Have had an injury to your eye or eyes
• Have corneas that are thinner than usual
• Have high blood pressure
• Have high eye pressure
• Are nearsighted or farsighted

Know when to get checked.

Saint Lucia To Observe World Sight Day - St. Lucia Times News Press Release:- World Sight Day 2019 will be acknowledged on Thursday October 10th under the theme “Universal Eye Health” and the call to action “Vision

World Sight Day (WSD) is an international day of awareness, held annually on the second Thursday of October to focus attention on the global issue of avoidable blindness and visual impairment. This year World Sight Day falls on 10 October 2019.
WSD is co-ordinated by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB).
WSD became an official IAPB event in the year 2000, and has been marked in many different ways in countries around the world each year since then.
World Sight Day is the focal Advocacy and PR event for IAPB and its members and partners each year, highlighting the fact that more than 75% of all blindness and MSVI is avoidable. WSD provides a platform for organisations to encourage governments, corporations, institutions and individuals to actively support global blindness prevention efforts.
World Sight Day is supported by over 150 IAPB member organisations, which include every major eye care NGO in the world, apex professional bodies for ophthalmology and optometry, teaching hospitals and corporations, united in working together to eliminate avoidable blindness and visual impairment.
This year too, IAPB challenges amateur and professional photographers around the world to join us in highlighting the impact of eye health in people’s lives, by taking part in an international photography competition with the theme, “Vision First”. Visit photocomp.iapb.org
Every year hundreds of activities are planned and executed on World Sight Day. While many are featured on the IAPB website’s Activity Report, this does not indicate the full scale, as organisers of events are requested but not obliged to report to IAPB. While the global WSD theme, and certain core materials are generated by IAPB, events are organised independently by IAPB member and supporter organisations.

Optipharm Eye Centre and One Good Deed Foundation celebrates World Sight Day 2019 under the theme "Universal Eye Health"

World Sight Day 2019 will be acknowledged on Thursday October 10th under the theme “Universal Eye Health” and the call to action “Vision First”. World Sight Day is an international event coordinated by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB). The goal of this day is to raise awareness of the fact that approximately 75% of blindness and vision impairment is avoidable and to encourage all necessary institutions to play an active role in supporting universal access to eye health.

World Sight Day has been an official IAPB event since 2000 and together with the World Health Organization (WHO) the ‘Vision 2020’ initiative was launched, whose aim is to eliminate avoidable blindness globally by the year 2020. Imagine a world where nobody is needlessly blind or visually impaired, and those with unavoidable vision loss can achieve their full potential; this is the target of Vision 2020. Since the implementation of Vision 2020, there have been several Global Action Plans, with the latest being “Universal Eye Health” from 2014 – 2019. This is a global plan to achieve reduced prevalence of avoidable visual impairment by 25% by 2019, which is a more realistic target than complete elimination by 2020.
In 2015, 253 million people were reported either blind or visually impaired. However, since 1990 to 2015 there has been a 1.21 % decrease in the prevalence of these eye conditions, from 4.58% to 3.37%. It is important to know that the vast majority of vision impaired people, approximately 89%, live in low or middle income countries and approximately 55% of those affected are women.

Optipharm Eye Centre and the One Good Deed Foundation is committed to the work in preventing, correcting, improving and treating vision impairments. It is also our desire that blindness and vision impairment be prevented once avoidable. We have been doing our part, by participating in World Sight Day for several years, through education, promoting awareness, free vision screenings and health fairs. These activities have been a part of the annual calendar of all our regional offices and we continue to seek to educate the public so no one has to live without seeing tomorrow once it can be prevented. We encourage the general public to have their annual eye examinations and diagnostic tests done, wear protective, preventive and corrective lenses as prescribed by your ophthalmologist, take medication as prescribed and know your family’s optical history. There are several eye diseases that can be traced through family history, it is important to let your doctor know and do the necessary tests early. Optipharm Eye Centre offers many services, including refraction testing for spectacles, diagnostic testing for glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy and other conditions. We also offer sun and computer eyewear and clinical and surgical services. Make your sight your top priority, as we recognize World Sight Day, join us in the fight for your vision.

Don’t delay! Proper sight today can become vision impairment tomorrow if we don’t protect our eye health. Additionally, we are working on our Telemedicine services, which is a mobile based app, allowing customers to consult with us in their time of need, including situations of disease outbreaks.

Our consultant Ophthalmologist (Eye Specialist) Dr. Benet C. Henry is always ready to take care of you. Visit Optipharm Eye Centre on 11 Maryann Street Castries and Clarke Street Vieux Fort, call us at 4517877/4548620 or visit our website www.optipharminc.com to book your appointment.
