One of the leading causes of blindness in the UK, is Glaucoma and it’s estimated to affect around 700,000 people in the UK, with half of them unaware they have it.

For Glaucoma Awareness Week we’re focusing on the eye condition itself, importance of early detection and the support available.

Joining us now to help us better understand this condition is Chris Hunton, Glaucoma UK trustee.
