SUMMARY:Glaucoma is a silent thief of sight: Get your Eyes Checked Today
DESCRIPTION:The Vision Care Association\, sponsored by Solmed company and M
 r. Bassem Bouhabib\, is organizing an event from March 16th to March 18th 
 in Beirut city to raise awareness about intraocular pressure and glaucoma.
  This event is being held in conjunction with World Glaucoma Week\, a glob
 al initiative to raise awareness about this disease.  During this three-da
 y event\, there will be various activities and educational programs aimed 
 at increasing knowledge about glaucoma and the importance of regular eye c
 heck-ups. Health experts\, including ophthalmologists and optometrists\, w
 ill be on hand to provide free eye screenings and consultations to partici
 pants using iCare devices to measure intraocular pressure. The iCare tonom
 eter is a non-invasive\, hand-held device that can accurately measure intr
 aocular pressure without the need for anesthetic eye drops. This makes it 
 a convenient and comfortable screening method for participants who may be 
 apprehensive about traditional methods of measuring intraocular pressure.\
 n To highlight the importance of this event\, the Raouche rock in Lebanon 
 will be lit up with the World Glaucoma Week logo\, symbolizing the global 
 effort to raise awareness about this eye disease. This is a significant ev
 ent that will attract the attention of the public\, promoting the importan
 ce of eye health and the need for early detection and treatment of glaucom
 a.  The Vision Care Association and Solmed company are committed to improv
 ing eye health and reducing the incidence of glaucoma through educational 
 initiatives and community outreach programs. This event is just one of the
  many efforts being made by the organization to promote eye health and pre
 vent blindness caused by glaucoma.
