 sly an employee of an International Financial Institute. She was diagnosed
  to have glaucoma late Nov 2019 and immediately lost her right eyesight th
 ereafter. She is very into creating awareness among the public and has bee
 n actively promoting events organized by Malaysia Glaucoma Society during 
 world glaucoma week since 2022 and was a lucky draw winner in one of the p
 hoto competition that year when the nation light up green in most iconic b
 uilding and places following our support to JGS initiatives.\n\nIn WGW2023
 \, Suraya was interviewed by TV3 slot "Malaysia Hari Ini" a national tv st
 ation which literally translated to "Malaysia Today" to share her glaucoma
  journey and recapped an Ophthalogist statement the year before that why c
 reating this awareness is an on-going battle.\n\nThis year\, WGW2024 she w
 as invited as panel speaker to share a Patient's journey at the Opening Ce
