Glaucoma Clinic Set Tomorrow The Bulletin ORANGE COUNTY NEW Glaucoma Clinic Set Tomorrow In Fullerton By Orange County News Service Close cooperation between the Orange County Health Department and sponsors of a glaucoma clinic that will be staged in Fullerton tomorrow, was the theme of a meeting held in Santa Ana yesterday. The project is being sponsored by the Downtown and West Fullerton Lions Clubs.

The eye check tomorrow is planned to help detect glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness among adults in the United States. In most cases, the dread disease strikes after 40, it was explained. Although difficult to detect in the first stages, it usually can be checked at an early stage. The disease literally squeezes the sight out of the eyes, it was pointed out. Appointments for the free eye examination can now be made by calling the Fullerton Volunteer Bureau between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., today. The clinic is to be staged at the Fullerton Boys' Club from 1 to 7 p.m. As many as 10 qualified doctors will conduct the examinations for detecting the disease, which often results in blindness if not treated early. Residents in the north Orange County area are invited to make appointments for the eye checks. The Boys' Club is located in the 400 block on Commonwealth and alongside St. Mary's Catholic Church. During the clinic, various tests will be given to check the eyes, including the use of a tonometer, which measure's the fluid pressure.
