Glaucoma, often called the "silent thief of sight," is a leading cause of irreversible blindness. Without early detection, this condition can progress unnoticed until significant damage has occurred.
Why Glaucoma Awareness Month is the Perfect Time to Act
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. Because it develops silently, many people don’t realize they have it until it’s too late.
Here’s why early detection is critical:
- No Early Symptoms: Glaucoma often progresses without noticeable warning signs.
- Permanent Vision Loss: Once vision is lost, it cannot be restored.
- High-Risk Factors: Family history, age, and certain health conditions increase susceptibility.
Detecting glaucoma early can help preserve your vision and quality of life.
