I just learned that the Association of International Glaucoma Societies has a theme song, namely the rousing “Glaucoma Hymn.” Picture yourself slowly losing your sight, amidst a luxurious wash of horns and angelic choruses:
Glaucoma, Glaucoma, Glaucoma
Constricting vision slowly
Halted by progress of science
Vision of a world united
Beyond all science knowing
But remember that Glaucoma is no laughing matter, kids! Listen to the “Glaucoma Hymn” here.

Holy. Motherfucking. Crap. OMG!!!
That’s even better than the Federal Emergency Management’s official rap song!
What’s with all the gov. websites “for kidz”?! The Homeland Security one is especially disturbing!
Last summer a friend sent this link to me. His father, an opthamologist, had just returned from the society’s conference, and actually believed that the song was truly inspiring!
I know, the hymn almost makes glaucoma sound like a good thing!
Good lord! I’m so confused. Thanks, JKS!
