World Glaucoma Week underway | News Article

Bloemfontein - This week people all over the world will take note of World Glaucoma Week.

Bloemfontein senior optometrist and manager at Mellins i-Style, Inge Loubser says eye strain and a lack of regular eye examination can lead to early signs of eye conditions. She says a regular eye examination helps optometrists detect chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes.

She says other ways to eliminate eye strain in the office can include blinking more often, using good posture, eliminating clutter around the work space and trying to reduce levels of anxiety and stressful situations.
 
World Glaucoma week started yesterday and will end on March 15.
