Andy's story - Andy had no idea he had glaucoma. An eye test detected the condition and he was sent to casualty where he was given further tests and eye drops to relieve the pressure. “ My vision has not improved but now it won’t deteriorate any further. This has made me feel very lucky – if I hadn’t gone for that eye test, I’d be blind by now.” Open Your Eyes campaign
