SUMMARY:Glaucoma - A Patient Story
DESCRIPTION:I am a Glaucoma Patient since 29 Nov 2019 with LE 6/9 and visio
 nless RE with no family history of Glaucoma.\n\nI wished someone had told 
 me that red eye\, sudden blurry\, acute headache on the forehead\, feeling
  nausea even though I had not eaten for two days and seeing halo is a Medi
 cal Emergency.\n\nOnce the novelty of being a patient wore off and I start
  Living Glaucoma\, I'd realised like me in the beginning... many are unawa
 re of this "Silent THIEF of Sight".  In 2021\, a recollection of trying to
  find support group and understanding about this disease\, realising there
 's no cure... I'd started sharing my journey to create awareness on FB\, I
 G\,Twitter and TikTok...  riding on every initiatives available. \n\nFor W
 orld Glaucoma Week 2023\,  Dr Cheng contacted me to share my journey on th
 is Silent Thief of Sight for awareness on a national morning TV show “Ma
 laysia Hari Ini" on 14 Mar 2023 to talk about my journey.  It was only a 1
 5 minutes slot but a window nonetheless which I am thankful thus submittin
 g on behalf of all those involved to make it happen.  \n\nAs there was alr
 eady an Ophthalmology on the show\, I did not go into detail on my journey
  BUT I hope everyone who watch the show then or later to know that there i
 s WGA and WGW\, globalwide initiatives by definition.  Unlike any other Aw
 areness initiative or celebrative day\, WGW goes for a week. Why? I'd expl
 ained in Bahasa Malaysia\, as it was a national show how WGA has already l
 aid out the tools for everyone to use and that irregardless what we do\, w
 here we are... we are in position to share and extend this awareness to th
 e community.\n\nIt is fortunate that the show was captured in YouTube and 
 everyone would be able to continue sharing how important it is to take car
 e of our eyes #GetTested and especially during these week\, a lot of eye c
 are professionals and optical outlets are giving free eye test.\n\nThank y
 ou.
