As part of World Glaucoma Week, the Korean Glaucoma Society organized a green lighting event to raise public awareness about glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. On Wednesday, March 11, from 8:00 to 8:30 PM, Gwangan Bridge—one of the most iconic landmarks in Busan, the second-largest city in the Republic of Korea—was illuminated in green, the symbolic color of glaucoma awareness.

The green illumination served as a visual reminder to the public about the importance of early detection and regular eye examinations to prevent vision loss from glaucoma. By lighting a prominent landmark in the city, the campaign aimed to draw public attention to glaucoma and encourage people to learn more about the disease.

In addition to the landmark illumination, the Korean Glaucoma Society also promoted educational activities and public engagement through online channels. Participants were encouraged to take photos of the green-lit landmark and share them on social media as part of the awareness campaign, helping spread the message about glaucoma prevention and early diagnosis.
