Note sull'episodio

In this special episode for World Glaucoma Day, we explore glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness often called the “silent thief of sight.”


Our guest Prof Adeola Onakoya, a consultant ophthalmologist breaks down:

• What glaucoma really is

• Who is most at risk

• Why early detection is critical

• Common myths about glaucoma

• What Nigerians can do to protect their vision


Remember: vision lost to glaucoma cannot be restored but early detection can save sight.


If you are over 40, have a family history of glaucoma, or have never had an eye examination, this is your reminder to get your eyes checked.
