I think childhood glaucoma needs a lot of attention because I think it's mainly as a old person's disease but children could get this. I got glaucoma when I was 9 years old from a complication of my cataract surgery as a baby. I've been on eye drops for 19 years to treat my pressure and been to the eye doctor many times. So I would like to spread Awareness on glaucoma in children and how important it is for children to get their eyes checked for the the sneak thief of eyesight.

I was diagnosed at 51 years so this idea of elderly people only getting glacoma is not reality. Get your eyes checked every year for life!
