The Malaysian Glaucoma Society (MGS), in collaboration with the Ophthalmology Department of Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah (HTAR) is proud to organise the World Glaucoma Week 2026 – Glaucoma Carnival.
This community‑based event is held in conjunction with World Glaucoma Week, a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about glaucoma — one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Alarmingly, many individuals with glaucoma remain undiagnosed until significant vision loss has occurred.
The Glaucoma Carnival aims to bridge this gap by providing free glaucoma screening, increasing public awareness, and facilitating early detection and referral, particularly among underserved and high‑risk populations. In addition to glaucoma screening, this event also incorporates general health screening and dental check-up services, offering a more holistic approach to community health and preventive care.
