THE BEE CO
Eye Specialists Fight Glaucoma Among
Older Oregon Residents
Fifty nine elderly Oregon residents might have gone blind from undetect
ed glaucoma if they had not called 1 800 222 EYES, a public service which
offers medical eye care to the disadvantaged elderly at no out of pocket
cost
The National Eye Care Project which operates nationwide through a
toll-free Helpline opened in Oregon January 27 It has received more
than 2088 calls from seniors in Oregon who may be suffering from glau
coma and other sight-threatening eye diseases More than 1388 of these
callers have made appointments with volunteer physicians and have re
ceived treatment, including 59 found to have glaucoma The project is
sponsored locally by the Oregon Academy of Ophthalmology and the Foun
dation of the American Academy of Ophthalmology
'The purpose of this outreach service is to find elderly citizens who don't
have a regular eye physician and who mav well have significant often blind
ing eye disease," said B Thomas Hutchinson, MD, Associate Clinical Pro
fessor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School, and chairman of the
Academy's National Eye Care Protect
‘ Glaucoma, with an increased incidence in those over age 65. is one of the
leading causes of blindness in the U S. today. Dr. Hutchinson said In its
early stages, glaucoma may present no obvious symptoms because initial
damage occurs in the peripheral vision. One form of glaucoma, unless
detected and treated immediately, can cause blindness in a day or two
"M rs Lena Grizel would have gone blind from glaucoma if it weren't for
the National Eye Care Project," said Isaac H Hsu. MD, St Helens, Oregon,

one of the / 000 ophthalmologists across the country participating in the
program
Fortunately we caught her disease early and were able to lower
her eye pressure considerably, protecting her vision from further damage."
Glaucoma is characterized by elevations of pressure within the eye which
develop when the outflow drainage systorn is impaired The increased pres
sure damages the optic nerve which carries light from the eye to the brain
Glaucoma is usually controlled with eye drops given two to four times a
day, or pills In patients wfiose eye pressure cannot be controlled with
medication, laser surgery or conventional surgery can be used to improve
the outflow of fluid from the eye
The goal of glaucoma treatment is to check the advance of the disease,
damage that has alroady occurred to eyq. tissues cannot be repaired. For
this reason, it is important to have regular eye exams every two to throe
years Early detection is key to the prevention to visual loss
Individuals who have a family history of glaucoma, or general health pro
blems such as diabetes, hardening of the arteries, or anemia, are at increas
ed risk for glaucoma. Dr Hutchinson said It is estimated that about two
million Americans have some form of glaucoma
The National Eye Care Project is open to U S citizens or legal residents,
age 65 or over, who are not currently under the care of an ophthalmologist,
who have no access to one. or who have not seen one within the last three
years
The National Eye Care Project Helpline 1 800 222 EYES is in opera
tion from 8 am to 5 pm in all time zones except Hawaii (Hawaii hours are
8 am to 3 pm) Nationwide, the Helpline has received more than 90,000
calls from older Americans and has referred over 60,000 to local ophthal
mologists More than 70% of those examined have been found to be suf
faring from glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, macular degenera
tion, and other debilitating eye diseases
