This article explores the importance of early detection and preventive strategies in combating glaucoma, with a focus on awareness campaigns, routine screening programs, advancements in diagnostic technology, and community outreach. It emphasizes the need for integrated healthcare approaches to ensure accessibility to early diagnostic tools and therapies. Drawing upon global practices and case studies, the article outlines a comprehensive strategy for the early diagnosis and prevention of glaucoma, particularly in underserved populations.
