Weill Cornell Eye Associates Celebrates a Successful World Glaucoma Week Screening.

On March 11th, 2010, glaucoma specialists Dr. Radcliffe and Dr. Rafla-Demetrious of Weill Cornell Eye Associates opened their doors to the public in the name of glaucoma detection and prevention. According to Dr. Radcliffe, "Glaucoma is treatable and preventable, yet one half of affected people in the developed world still do not know they have it. We must increase awareness of this progressive, blinding disease."

This annual event was a joint global initiative of the World Glaucoma Association (WGA) and the World Glaucoma Patient Association (WGPA).

"We screened over 100 people, and fortunately we were able to connect with many patients who needed further glaucoma care. Hopefully by increasing glaucoma awareness in the community, we will continue to see patients come forward for glaucoma care."
