Udruženje glaukomatologa Srbije se i 2017. god. priključilo akciji koja se obeležava širom sveta. ”Svetska nedelja borbe protiv glaukoma” je organizovana u mnogim klinikama i zdravstvenim centrima u Srbiji: Beogradu, Nišu, Kragujevcu, Aleksincu,…
Pored tradicionalnog ”otvaranja vrata” u našim ordinacijama, kada su pacijenti i svi zainteresovani gradjani u odredjeno vreme mogli da provere intraokularni pritisak i dobiju savet lekara bez bilo koje administrativne procedure, organizovana su i merenja intraokularnog pritiska na javnim mestima.
Održano je i nekoliko promotivnih i edukativnih predavanja gradjanima u cilju boljeg informisanja o prirodi bolesti, lečenju i posledicama ukoliko se glaukom ne otkrije na vreme. (Beograd, Novi Beograd) kao i kontinuirana edukacija lekara kroz održavanje kursa ”Spasimo godine vida” (Niš).
Ova svetski važna manifestacija je medijski propraćena gostovanjem naših eminentnih glaukomatologa i članova Udruženja na regionalnim i nacionalnim televizijama (Beograd, Kragujevac, Niš)
Posebno ističemo izdavanje brošure ”Glaukom-Vodič za pacijente” koji je sa drugim propagandnim materijalom o glaukomu podeljen u toku obeležavanja ”Svetske nedelje glaukoma” 2017.
