No. No. This HAS to be a joke.
The bobbing heads? The blinking invisible eye? These riveting lyrics to the f'ing Glaucoma Hymn?!:
Glaucoma, Glaucoma, Glaucoma
Constricting vision slowly
Halted by progress of science
Vision of a world united
Beyond all science knowing
Holy. F'ing. Crap.

Well, that's a new strategy. You don't have to worry about your glaucoma after your eyeballs flee your skull. Pity about the collateral damage to the ears, though.

I absolutely do not get even a single piece of this. This can't be real. It just can't.
My eye doctor has tested me for glaucoma about 20 times in the last 2 years. He keeps shaking his head and saying I'm "borderline". I've had my eyeball air-blasted, pen pressed, orange dyed, blue lighted, and laser mapped more than any person should have to. Maybe I need to flunk a couple.
What the hell are these people smoking anyway?
Oh. Right.

Perhaps this is an indicator (from the "Code of Practice" menu link), as some others have stated more forthrightly, marijuana may be a factor?
"5.1 Where a member wishes to initiate a study in relation to medicinal products or devices he will first need to be aware that this is likely to be at his own risk. This would be particularly important where the product concerned is not authorised or where an authorised product is being tested for an ‘off label’ use. Accordingly it should be confirmed that the question of insurance has been addressed. Requests for products from Industry for non-sponsored studies will normally only be fulfilled on the basis that the member acknowledges the foregoing issues."
