Nghe An Eye Hospital provides free screening and medication for glaucoma patients
Glaucoma is a chronic disease that can lead to blindness due to irreversible damage to the optic nerve if detected late and not treated promptly. Therefore, early detection and treatment of glaucoma is very important to prevent the risk of blindness.
In Vietnam, glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness after cataracts. At Nghe An Eye Hospital, the number of patients with this disease is very high and most patients come to the clinic when the disease is in the late stages, losing almost all of their field of vision (eye field).

Doctors recommend that people over 40 years old or people with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, small eye structure, high farsightedness or family members with glaucoma should go for screening to rule out the disease.
In response to World Glaucoma Week (March 7 - March 12, 2016), from March 7, 2015 to March 12, 2016, Nghe An Eye Hospital will conduct free screening, consultation, Humphrey visual field measurement, and optic nerve head CT scan for glaucoma patients.
