Glaucoma: A Public Health & Equity Issue

# Glaucoma: A Public Health & Equity Issue This informative public health presentation examines glaucoma through the critical lenses of community health and healthcare equity. The discussion will explore how this leading cause of irreversible blindness disproportionately affects certain populations, and what can be done to improve early detection and treatment access across different communities. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the latest research on glaucoma prevention, the importance of regular eye screenings, and the systemic barriers that prevent equitable healthcare access. The presentation aims to raise awareness about this often "silent" disease that can progress without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss occurs. This event is ideal for healthcare professionals, community advocates, public health students, and anyone interested in understanding how social determinants impact eye health outcomes. It's also valuable for those with family histories of glaucoma or anyone wanting to learn more about protecting their vision. The session promises to be both educational and thought-provoking, connecting medical knowledge with broader conversations about health equity in our community. ## Details - **Date**: 2026-06-26 - **Time**: 7:00 PM - **Venue**: [Unknown](/tags/) - **Price**: Check website ## Source Event link: [Glaucoma: A Public Health & Equity Issue](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598349fb15d5db963aeb09f1/1744722696058-3Z2D4Z5FFSLURJT38X8Z/April+2025+Event+Banner.png?format=2500w) Retrieved from https://www.urbanleague.ca/event-listings on December 03, 2025.
