  • At a World Glaucoma Week 2026 programme in Victoria Island, Dr Temitope Tijani called for increased screening nationwide.

  • According to Tijani, glaucoma often causes no noticeable early symptoms; early diagnosis facilitates treatment and can prevent irreversible blindness.

  • Prof Afekhide Omoti reported in 2025 that glaucoma accounted for 16.7 percent of Nigeria’s blindness; 1.2 million people aged 40-plus suffered glaucoma-induced blindness.

  • Dr Ayo Ibukunoluwa recommended routine screening from age 40 and for people with family history, diabetes or high blood pressure.
  • No matter how rich you are, no matter how much money you have, it is not something money can cure. So it is not about status. And it is more common, especially among Black people.
    — Dr Temitope Tijani, Medical Director, during an awareness programme at Skipper Eye-Q hospital in Victoria Island, Lagos, commemorating World Glaucoma Week 2026.
