Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that 10 to 16 March 2013 is World Glaucoma Week;
2) further notes that World Glaucoma Week (WGW) is a joint global initiative of the World Glaucoma Association (WGA) and the World Glaucoma Patients Association (WGPA), to raise awareness of Glaucoma, what it does to sight, and how it might affect you;
3) acknowledges that the theme for World Glaucoma Week this year is: The world is a wonder to see every day - so don't let Glaucoma get in the way;
4) further acknowledges that Glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness worldwide and it is estimated that 4.5 million persons globally are blind due to Glaucoma and that this number will rise to 11.2 million by 2020; and
5) calls on everyone to raise awareness of this silent blinding disease.
Agreed to.
