Understanding Glaucoma and Its Silent Threat

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, often progressing without symptoms until significant vision loss occurs. Damage caused by glaucoma is irreversible, making early detection essential.

Why You Should Be Concerned About Glaucoma:

  • Silent Progression: Most people don’t notice symptoms until vision loss begins.
  • Permanent Damage: Glaucoma can cause irreversible harm to your optic nerve.
  • Widespread Impact: Millions worldwide are affected, and many remain undiagnosed.

  • Proactive Prevention: Early detection means you can take steps to prevent further damage.

Are Your at Risk of Glaucoma?

While glaucoma can affect anyone, certain individuals face a higher risk:

  • Adults over 40.
  • Those with a family history of glaucoma.
  • Individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
