Experts have called on citizens of Jigawa state to engage in regular check up of their eyes to prevent the likelihood of suffering from glaucoma.
They gave the charge at a Walk in the Jigawa state capital as part of advocacy to raise awareness on the eye condition that causes total blindness.
Glaucoma falls among a group of eye diseases that can cause vision loss and blindness by damaging a nerve in the back of the eye called the optic nerve.
Studies have shown that Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide.
78 million people suffer from the condition globally and there are fears that the figure may spike to 120 million by 2040
In Nigeria, statistics have it that 16 per cent of the population suffer from the condition.
It has also been established that about 1.8 million citizens of over 40 years suffer from glaucoma with almost 360000 of them blind in both eyes.
Broken down, one in every 20 Nigerians aged 40 years and above has glaucoma and one in five end up blind.
March 12th to 18th every year is designated the glaucoma week to intensify awareness on the disease.
The Jigawa state government alongside stakeholders embark on this Walk and Road show to stress the need for residents to priotise their vision.
The experts insist poverty is not an excuse to go blind.
