NEHEP Programs

This Toolkit contains science-based, user-friendly information designed to help you educate people in your community about glaucoma. The following information provides suggestions on how to use the materials in this Toolkit.

PowerPoint Presentation

• The PowerPoint presentation (also available as a PDF*) is an introduction to glaucoma, how it is detected and treated.
• You will need access to a computer/laptop in order to present. Ideally, you can also project the slides onto a screen using an LCD projector.
• If you do not have access to a LCD projector, you can print out copies of the PowerPoint slides for participants and ask them to follow along.
• To assist you in presenting, use the talking points in the speaker's guide.
• This PowerPoint presentation works well with small and large groups, so consider giving this presentation at community health fairs and faith-based functions.

Speaker's Guide

• The speaker's guide PDF* accompanies the PowerPoint presentation and it includes talking points for each slide.
• The talking points correspond with each of the bullets on the PowerPoint slide.
• No prior knowledge of eye health is necessary. All the information you need to present is included in the speaker's guide.
• If the attendees ask questions that are not directly addressed on the slide, please reply by referring them to their eye care professional or to the NEI Glaucoma Website.
• Do not hand out copies of the speaker's guide to attendees.

Promotional Announcement

• This announcement PDF* can be posted in a flyer or incorporated into newsletters or other publications to publicize your glaucoma educational session.
• Tailor the announcement to indicate the time, date, and location of your session.
• Customize the announcement by adding your organization's logo.

Participant Handouts

A variety of handouts are available for you to print and distribute to participants. These include the following:

• Glaucoma Fact Sheet PDF*
• Eye Diagram PDF*
• Glaucoma Simulation PDF*
• Tips for Talking to Your Doctor PDF*

Distribute the handouts after you finish the presentation.

Participant Evaluation Form

• Print out copies of the evaluation form PDF* and ask participants to fill one out after your presentation. This information can help you in preparing for future presentations.
