This is the only answer I can suggest to preventing more blind people who may be the bread winner for their families.

support glaucoma association of Ghana financially and through free adverts, text messages, educational talks ect, to create awareness so that people can look for help early before they go blind from glaucoma. Glaucoma can only be detected through screening. Get a check up TODAY! Prevention is better than cure. Early detection and treatment halts blindness!!!!

A blind man walks into a restaurant in Takoradi and sits down.

The waiter, who is also the owner, walks up to the blind man and hands him a menu.

“I’m sorry, sir, but I am blind and can’t read the menu. Just bring me a dirty fork from a previous customer. I’ll smell it and order from there.”

A little confused, the owner walks over to the dirty dish pile and picks up a greasy fork. He returns to the blind man’s table and hands it to him.

The blind man puts his nose to the fork and takes a deep breath. “Ah, yes, that’s what I’ll have –Grilled chicken and mashed potatoes.”

Unbelievable, the owner thinks as he walks towards the kitchen. The cook happens to be the owner’s wife. He tells her what had just happened. The blind man eats his meal and leaves.

Several days later, the blind man returns and the owner mistakenly brings him a menu again.

“Sir, remember me? I’m the blind man.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize you. I’ll go get you a dirty fork.”. The owner retrieves a dirty fork and brings it to the blind man.

After another deep breath, the blind man says, “That smells great. I’ll take the Grass cutter soup with Cocoa Yam fufu.”
Walking away in disbelief, the owner thinks the blind man is screwing around with him and tells his wife that the next time the blind man comes in he’s going to test him. The blind man eats and leaves.

He returns the following week, but this time the owner sees him coming and runs to the kitchen. He tells his wife, “Abena, rub this fork on your panties before I take it to the blind man.” Abena complies and hands her husband the fork.

As the blind man walks in and sits down, the owner is ready and waiting. “Good afternoon, sir, this time I remembered you and I already have the fork ready for you.”

He hands the blind man the fork who puts his nose, takes a deep whiff, and says, “Hey I did not know that Abena worked here …”

A cousin of mine who was also my classmate in sec. schl went blind with glaucoma. I was much appalled by the level of medical care and advice offered him at the 37 Military Hospital, which can only be characterised as medical malpractice.

As he was working with the Min. of Defence, he was entitled to free medical treatment, so it cannot be said that lack of money was the problem even. All that he was being given was thicker and thicker lenses, and I kept on asking if there was no treatment for glaucoma when they eventually managed to diagnose him correctly. It was a real pity.

I've to say he was very careless too, refusing to seek help at Korle Bu, since he trusted the Professor handling him. In the end, he went blind! A real shame!
