Forties Focus Campaign

Through our 'Forties Focus' campaign, Glasses2You are supporting the initiative developed to drive public awareness of the risk factors and prevalence of glaucoma which affects 70million worldwide. We want people to know the critical importance of appropriate diagnosis among ‘at risk’ groups (over 40’s) to slow down the progression of the disease and to make aware the importance of eye tests as only eye specialist can find Glaucoma and treat it.
The 1st Annual World Glaucoma Day is to be held on March 6th. More details about this event can be found
We at glasses2you have decided to support this event by donating £1.00 from every sale throughout March to the Glaucoma Research Foundation's awareness appeal.
