World Glaucoma Week, a global initiative by the World Glaucoma Association (WGA), is observed annually from March 9 to 16 to raise awareness about glaucoma. This week aims to encourage people worldwide to undergo regular eye and optic nerve checks to detect glaucoma early and preserve sight. The theme for Glaucoma Awareness Week (GAW) 2025 is “Uniting for a Glaucoma-Free World.”

The Ludhiana Ophthalmological Society (LOS) organised a Glaucoma Awareness Walk for the residents of the city. Prominent eye surgeons from the city, including Dr B S Rana (president, LOS), Dr Nitin Batra (Chairman, Scientific Committee), Dr Rajinder Singh, Dr G S Dhami, Dr Gurvinder Kaur, Dr Shaffie Baidwal, Dr Abhinav Dhami, and Dr Samson Rajpal, participated in the event.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
