Glaucoma is estimated to cost Australia $4.3 billion every year by 2025, as a result of an ageing population. Approximately 10% of Australians over the age of 40 are considered to be at risk of glaucoma, or ‘glaucoma suspects’. Of these, around 12.5% will go on to develop glaucoma within the standard two-year interval for routine eye examinations.
In this opinion piece published in Insight magazine, Dr Brian Ang explains why a proactive approach to managing glaucoma risk is the way forward.
