Campaign idea: Meet Carol
Carol had always enjoyed good health until a shock glaucoma diagnosis led to operations on both eyes.
This story
Carol was diagnosed with normal tension glaucoma in 2023. Eye drops kept her eye pressure controlled for about a year, but after further progression she needed surgery on her left eye and a second operation on her right eye twelve weeks later. Her clinic visits have since become less frequent, and she now focuses on urging relatives of people with glaucoma to get their eyes tested.
