There are about 67 million glaucoma patients in the world, and they may get sick at all ages, which has become the killer of human blindness. Glaucoma refers to an eye disease with intermittent or continuous increase in intraocular pressure. Persistent high intraocular pressure will damage the tissue and visual function of various parts of the eyeball. If not treated in time, the visual field can be completely lost, or even blind. Glaucoma is one of the three major eye diseases leading to human blindness. The incidence rate of the total population is 1%, and it is 2% after 45 years old. Glaucoma is hereditary. People with a family history of glaucoma should go to the hospital regularly for examination. Once you find that your eyes are swollen, you have a headache, and you feel like a rainbow when you look at the lights, you must go to the hospital for examination and cooperate with the doctor to make a diagnosis and treatment in time. Glaucoma is a binocular disease. If one eye is sick, the other eye should be examined in time. Check regularly during treatment to avoid asymptomatic gradual blindness.

World Glaucoma Day is a global action jointly sponsored by the World Glaucoma Association (WGA) and the World Glaucoma Patients Association (WGPA), which is the annual "World Glaucoma Day" to improve people's awareness of glaucoma.
