Accounts for 12% Blindness

Glaucoma, which strikes two
Canadians in every 100 over the
age of 40, is one of our most sor-

this disease is neglected that it
accounts for 12 per cent of all
blindness,

The main reason for this is
that the: common chronic: form of
Glaucoma‘ has no.early symptoms
and consequently is’ usually not
diagnosed until failing vislon has
brought the parent to seek medi-

by treating the causative condition.
Much more common is primary
Glaucoma, which can develop for
reasons not yet well understood,

early cases can be successfully
treated by the use of special eye
drops, The drops do not cure the
disease, but if used daily as in-
structed by the doctor, they will
keep it under control for life.

nadians who are not being treated
and who are losing vision, unaware
that they have this disease.
