Glaucoma: “The Silent Killer of Vision”
This is Dr. Sirish Nelivigi, Director of Nelivigi Eye Hospital and am back to you with our series of Podcast which is "Let There Be Vision” Podcast. In this particular episode I would like to discuss about "Glaucoma: The Silent Killer of Vision".
Globally, the World Health Organization(WHO) estimates that there are 285 Million People whose vision is impaired of whom 39 Million are blind and about 246 Million have low vision. And 1 out of 3 blind people in the world live in India. In India, approximately 18 Million people suffer from blindness. 80% of conditions causing blindness which unfortunately could be treated or prevented continue to cause blindness in our country.
