World Glaucoma Week |
New research released to mark World Glaucoma Week reveals Australia's greatest fear is going blind. Blindness ranked higher than heights, spiders and lightning strikes combined (68%). The research also revealed Australians value their sense of sight (87%) higher than any other, followed by hearing, taste, touch and lastly smell.
Yet most fail to ask for a glaucoma check. Glaucoma is the world's leading cause of irreversible blindness. Almost a third (29%) of Australians don't actually know what glaucoma is and furthermore, 51% of Australians did not realise that being diagnosed early (40+ years old) could prevent blindness from glaucoma.
Glaucoma Australia supports people living with glaucoma through an educational website, twice yearly newsletter, telephone support and education and awareness meetings nationwide. Australians should visit Glaucoma.org.au or call 1800 500 880 to find out more. |

Bombshells opens this Monday, March 19 through to April 21 at the Cremorne Theatre starring the award-winning performance dynamo, Christen O'Leary as she plays six colourfully complex characters: a housewife running on empty, a cactus-loving divorcee, an anxious bride, a Glee Club wannabe, a yearning sexagenarian, and a cabaret diva singing her last hurrah.
Brisbane-born O'Leary is a star of the stage after winning two Green Room Awards . She is also the prodigal Queensland daughter returned - she's followed the sun, and relocated back to Brisbane with her musician husband and two little people - and Queensland audiences are set to reap the rewards. Bombshells also marks Queensland Theatre Company Artistic Director Wesley Enoch's first directing gig for the year.
