Glaucoma（青光眼）is a major cause of blindness around the world, especially in developing countries. The World Health Organization says glaucoma is a greater public health challenge than cataracts（白內(nèi)障）, because the blindness caused by the latter can be cured after operations.

Glaucoma is a disease that makes people around the world lose their sight, and they usually don’t even know they have the disease until it has permanently destroyed at least 40 percent of their sight. The process is usually so painless and subtle（不明顯的）, so people don't notice it. Actually, the simplest medical test can discover it.

“It is the leading cause of blindness in the United States. In Hispanics and in African-Americans, it’s the second leading cause of blindness and so is the case in the Chinese and Indians.” said Dr. Alan Robin, a specialist in treating glaucoma. “The glaucoma we see in sub-Saharan Africa is a much more aggressive blinding disease than the glaucoma we see in Americans or even African- Americans in-the United States.” he said．　　 ．

Dr. Eric Fleischer also sees these differences at Medstar Washington Hospital Center. “Pretty much anybody who has ancestors in Africa has an increased chance of developing glaucoma.” Age is another thing that may lead to glaucoma, although people of all ages can get it.

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that commonly produce pressure in the eye. An eye is sort of like a watch. And behind the face of the watch, liquid is made. It goes through your pupil（瞳孔）and into the front of the watch between the face and the crystal．There's an area around the edge of the watch that drains（使排出）the liquid. When that drain is blocked, the liquid can't leave the eye as fast as it is produced. The rising pressure within the eye damages and eventually kills the optic（視覺的） nerve. The result is blindness.

Fortunately, if caught early, glaucoma can be controlled. Glaucoma is not curable. But as researchers worldwide lean more about it, they grow more hopeful that glaucoma can one day be cured or even prevented.

Almost 40 years ago, a community service organization started providing eye care in Gujarat State, in western India.

The Rotary Club of Navsari operates an eye hospital and 9 area eye centers in and around Navsari, whose services are for the poorest people.

       The group opened the hospital, the Rotary Eye Institule of Navsari, in 1970. Institute officials say India has only about one ophthalmologist for every 120,000 people. The Institute, however, has ten such specially trained eye doctors. It has restored or improved the eyesight of thousands of patients. Many people far from the city. Teams from it travel as far as 150 kilometers to see patients. People go to their nearest camp, for conditions including glaucoma（青光眼）, night blindness and other problems. Some people are found to have cataracts, abnormal growths on the eye that can lead to loss of eyesight. India has about 13 million people with the condition. Cataract patients get free operations to correct the problem.

Rotary groups also operate eye banks. Doctors at these centers replace damaged eyes with the healthy eyes of donors who have just died. One such center is the Rotary Rajan Eye Bank. It operates in coopertation with the Rajan Eye Care Hospital in Chennai. The Eye Bank opened in 1996. Hundreds of patients have received new corneas from donors since then.
