Save A Sight

Have you ever try to imagine yourself with a very blur vision even after you put your specs on?

How many of you face the computer more than 8 hours everyday? How many of you really take good care of your eyes?

Have you ever heard of Glaucoma? Glaucoma is an eye disorder in which the optic nerve suffers damage, permanently damaging vision in the affected eye(s) and progressing to complete blindness if untreated. Glaucoma can be separated roughly into two main categories which are open angle and closed angle glaucoma.

Here are some symptoms about Glaucoma.

Open Angle Glaucoma

- Most people have NO symptoms until they begin to lose vision

- Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision ( also called tunnel vision)

Closed Glaucoma

- Symptoms may come and go at first or steadily become worse

- Sudden, severe pain in one eye

- Decreased of cloudy vision.

- Nausea and vomiting

- Rainbow-like halos around lights

- Red Eye

- Eye feels swollen

There are treatments that can be done in order to get rid of Glaucoma. To know more about it, you are pretty welcome to attend the Save A Sight event that held by IACT students. The event starts on coming Thursday 6th of October starts from 11 am at IACT Gallery Jaya One.
