Its World Sight Day!
we are at Greenlane Clinical Centre until 10.30 today talking all things glaucoma and eye health.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness in New Zealand. The good news? With early detection, the right treatment and ongoing management, sight can be saved.

If you’re at Greenlane this morning, come and say hi. We’d love to see you, answer your questions and share some helpful information.

Because protecting your sight starts with knowing what you can do. 💙

We would like to thank everyone involved in the 2026 Professional Symposium, especially our speakers, sponsors and convenors of the programme. Celebrating the 10th anniversary in 2026, was a proud milestone for everyone involved, and recognised Glaucoma New Zealand’s ongoing commitment to deliver professional development.

“Yet again, it was an informative and entertaining conference. A perfect blend. I took comfort in the fact that discomfort is a common feeling amongst practitioners, including those with far bigger brains and more experience than me.”
Catherine Small, optometrist with Truscott & Hamilton, long time supporter of Glaucoma NZ.
Over the past ten years, Glaucoma NZ has reinvested the more than $200,000 funding from the Professional Education Symposium into professional and patient education programmes.

Grateful thanks to our 2026 sponsors: Pub Charity Ltd, Dragon Community Trust, Blue Sky Community Trust, Medix21, Optopol ANZ, Alcon, Device Technologies, OIC and our partners, Glaukos, for their investment and belief in the programmes we deliver.

A global study found that the majority of individuals rank vision loss as the health outcome they fear most, even above losing a limb, speech, or memory. With early detection, treatment adherance, blindness from glaucoma is rare.

23/07/2026

Glaucoma is hereditary, you are 10 times more likely to develop glaucoma if its within your family.
To find out if glaucoma runs in your family, talk to your family and get a regular eye health check at your local optometrist.

Did you know that Glaucoma runs in the family...you might inherit more than your eye colour.
Glaucoma often runs in families, meaning those with a close relative who has glaucoma are at greater risk.
Knowing your family history and having regular eye examinations are two simple steps that can help protect your sight.

15/07/2026

Join us on Sunday 2 August for the 2026 Professional Symposium – a day of practical learning, expert insights and thought-provoking discussion with colleagues from across eye care.

Don't just take our word for it:
"Lots of practical tips, engaging presentations, stimulating."
"I am an orthoptist working as a technician. The day was pitched at a great level for the work I do. I liked the balance of talks and cases."

You can't rely on symptoms to tell you if you have glaucoma. Often, there are no warning signs until vision has already been affected.
That's why regular eye examinations are so important. Detecting glaucoma early gives you the best chance of protecting your sight, even if your vision seems perfectly fine.
💚 Don't wait for symptoms. Book your eye health check today.
