The ‘45 Plus 5’ Message


Glaucoma NZ recommends that everyone has an eye examination for glaucoma by the age of 45 then every 5 years after that until age 60, and three-yearly after that. Those with risk factors for glaucoma such as a family history of glaucoma or steroid use should be examined earlier.

Awareness on the Web

This year Glaucoma NZ wants to spread the word about glaucoma and blindness prevention by attracting as many visitors as possible to this website. If you have a suitable website at your place of work or sports club please consider adding a link to www.glaucoma.org.nz Contact admin@ glaucoma.org.nz if you woud like to include the Glaucoma NZ logo.

 

Awareness in the Workplace

One effective way of sharing health information is through the work force. Many companies are genuinely concerned about the health and well being of their employees. If you are an employer or work for a forward thinking company that might be keen to inform workers about glaucoma and the '45plus5' message to preserve their sight please contact admin@glaucoma.org.nz to discuss ideas and how Glaucoma NZ can best work with you.

  

Awareness and the General Practitioner

Glaucoma NZ is proud to be associated with a large group of general practioners who have registered with Glaucoma NZ to be kept up-to-date with glaucoma issues and developments. If your GP does not know of the Glaucoma NZ GP Education Support programme encourage them to visit www.glaucoma.org.nz for information and free registration.
