Glaucoma Awareness Walkathon at Sohana Hospital
Spreading the message – early detection is the only protection against Glaucoma – the “Silent Thief of Sight”. Glaucoma is a global health crisis, stealing sight from millions, even before they realize it. But at Sohana Eye Hospital, under the leadership of Dr. Amanpreet Kaur, Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Senior Cataract & Refractive Surgeon, the battle against Glaucoma is being fought with unwavering commitment. As part of Glaucoma Awareness Week (March 9 – March 15, 2025), Sohana Eye Hospital successfully hosted a Walkathon on March 12, 2025, rallying people from all walks of life to spread awareness about this sight-threatening disease. The event saw an overwhelming response, with healthcare professionals, students, and community members stepping forward to make a difference. Carrying placards and banners, the participants marched together, sending a powerful message – glaucoma may not have warning signs, but awareness can save vision.

Dr. Amanpreet Kaur – A Visionary Leader in Eye Health

At the forefront of this movement was Dr. Amanpreet Kaur, COO and Senior Cataract & Refractive Surgeon at Sohana Eye Hospital. She is a passionate advocate for eye health and addressed the participants, emphasizing the importance of early detection and routine eye screenings. “Glaucoma is called the ‘Silent Thief of Sight’ for a reason. It creeps in unnoticed, causing irreversible vision loss. But here’s the good news! Early diagnosis can prevent blindness. That is why awareness is key,”  – shared Dr. Amanpreet Kaur. Her emphasis on preventive eye care resonated deeply with the attendees, many of whom pledged to prioritize their eye health as well as encourage their loved ones for routine eye check-ups.

Glaucoma – The Invisible Threat We Must Not Ignore

Glaucoma is one of the main causes of blindness in the world, yet millions remain undiagnosed simply because the disease develops without any noticeable symptoms. By the time vision loss becomes obvious, it gets too late. The Walkathon served as a wake-up call, urging people to take control of their eye health. The event was not just a walk but a movement and a collective step toward a future where no one loses their vision due to ignorance.
