From October 5 to 10, 2026, Valdoz Optic Sarl, based in Yaounde, will organize a major free glaucoma screening campaign, while offering patients a 30% discount on check-ups.

At a time when public health faces multiple challenges, preserving visual health remains an absolute priority that is often overlooked. Yet some eye diseases progress silently, showing no obvious symptoms until it is too late. Glaucoma is one of them. Often described as the “silent thief of sight,” it is characterized by increased intraocular pressure that progressively damages the optic nerve, potentially leading to irreversible blindness if it is not diagnosed early.

It is precisely to help reverse this worrying trend and raise public awareness that Enjeck Eye Clinic is mobilizing through this campaign.

A broad mobilization against an invisible threat

From October 5 to 10, the clinic will place its technical expertise and human resources at the service of patients. While it normally offers a wide range of advanced eye-care services, including eye surgery, OCT, visual field testing, tonometry and pachymetry, the clinic has chosen to focus this period entirely on a vital public health mission.“During this campaign, the focus will be on glaucoma screening.

We are expecting as many people as possible to come and benefit from these consultations. We will be delighted to attend to the number of patients who come,” says Josiel Irène Ouguedou, General Manager of Enjeck Eye Clinic.The statement reflects a strong commitment to improving access to quality diagnosis and raising awareness among people who may be at risk. In many settings, the cost of eye examinations can be a major barrier to preventive care.

By providing targeted glaucoma screening, together with an exceptional 30% discount on comprehensive check-ups during this October campaign, Enjeck Eye Clinic seeks to reduce an important financial barrier to early detection.

Understanding the urgency of early screening

The danger of glaucoma lies in its often asymptomatic nature in its early stages. Patients may initially experience neither pain nor a sudden loss of visual acuity.

The brain can compensate for the gradual loss of peripheral vision, making the progression of the disease difficult to notice. By the time vision problems become apparent, damage to the optic nerve may already be irreversible.This is why regular examinations of eye pressure and the optic nerve are important, particularly for people over 40, those with a family history of glaucoma and people with high myopia.

The initiative launched by Enjeck Eye Clinic therefore carries significant public health value. By taking part in the campaign, residents have an opportunity to have their eye health checked and to take preventive action rather than waiting until problems become apparent. Medical teams supported by modern diagnostic equipment will welcome the public throughout the campaign period.

Protecting the future of our vision

Beyond the consultation itself, the campaign aims to serve as a community awareness initiative. It seeks to promote the idea that eye health deserves the same level of attention as other major aspects of routine health care.Vision is one of the main ways people interact with the world around them. Losing it because of late detection or a lack of information can have serious consequences.

Enjeck Eye Clinic is therefore calling on residents of Yaounde and surrounding areas to take advantage of the campaign and make eye health a priority.
