Pushpanjali Eye Care Empowers the Community with Education on Glaucoma

Immediate Press release date[Kolkata, 8.2.2025] – Pushpanjali Eye Care, a leading name in the field of eye health, is committed to raising awareness about glaucoma, a sight-threatening condition that affects millions worldwide. As part of their ongoing mission to provide quality eye care, the center is launching a comprehensive initiative focused on educating the public about the importance of early detection, prevention, and management of glaucoma. This initiative is aimed at helping individuals understand the risks associated with the condition and encouraging regular eye check-ups to preserve long-term vision health.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve, often due to elevated pressure within the eye. It is one of the leading causes of blindness, particularly in older adults. The disease can develop slowly and painlessly, making it difficult for individuals to detect in its early stages. If left not recovered, glaucoma can result in permanent eye care loss.
There are different types of glaucoma, with Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG) being the most common. It generally develops gradually and goes unnoticed until significant damage has occurred. Other forms, like Angle-Closure Glaucoma, can cause sudden, severe symptoms and require immediate medical attention.

Raising Awareness: Why It Matters

Glaucoma affects over 76 million people globally, and it is estimated that more than half of those affected are unaware of their condition. The lack of noticeable symptoms in the early stages makes it particularly dangerous. That’s why education and awareness are key to tackling glaucoma.
Pushpanjali Eye Care’s campaign, titled “Clear Focus on Glaucoma,” focuses on empowering the public with knowledge about glaucoma’s symptoms, risk factors, and treatment options.
The campaign includes free workshops, informational pamphlets, social media outreach, and partnerships with local communities to help individuals understand the importance of regular eye examinations. Experts at Pushpanjali Eye Care stress that regular eye exams can detect glaucoma early and help preserve vision.
Key Features of Pushpanjali Eye Care’s Glaucoma Awareness Campaign
Free Glaucoma Screenings: Pushpanjali Eye Care will offer free glaucoma screenings to the public throughout the month of February. These screenings will help identify individuals who may be at risk and offer timely interventions if needed.

Educational Workshops: The clinic will host a series of workshops led by leading ophthalmologists and optometrists who will provide valuable insights into glaucoma prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment. The workshops will be open to the general public and are designed to be informative and accessible to all.
Community Outreach and Social Media Campaigns: Through targeted social media campaigns and collaborations with local community centers, schools, and businesses, Pushpanjali Eye Care aims to spread the message of glaucoma awareness far and wide.

Expert Consultations and Care: The campaign also emphasizes the availability of expert consultations for patients who may need additional care. With state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, Pushpanjali Eye Care offers comprehensive glaucoma assessments and tailored treatment options.

Why Glaucoma Detection Is Important
Early detection of glaucoma can significantly reduce the risk of vision loss. Unfortunately, many people are unaware that they have the condition until significant damage has already been done. Regular eye exams, particularly for those over the age of 40 or those with a family history of glaucoma, are essential for monitoring eye pressure and checking for early signs of the disease.

If glaucoma is detected early, it can often be managed with medication or surgery, preventing further vision loss. Treatment options may include prescription eye drops, laser treatments, or surgical procedures that can help control intraocular pressure and protect the optic nerve.
