AUA Glaucoma Awareness Group

Mission statement

Under the direction of the president of the World Glaucoma Patient Association, Dr. Jillia Bird, and AUA professor, Dr. Srikanteswara Viswanath (Dr. Sri), the AUA Glaucoma Awareness Group strives to create awareness of the “silent thief” of sight, glaucoma. Our group members consist of ambitious medical students from all areas of the world who are dedicated to providing information about the signs and symptoms, treatments, epidemiology, and preventive measures of glaucoma to the public of Antigua. Our mission is to educate the people of Antigua about glaucoma in the hopes its incidence becomes a problem of the past.
