Glaucoma Awareness Month in January sheds light on a serious eye condition that often progresses without symptoms. Known as the "silent thief of sight," glaucoma can cause irreversible vision loss if left undetected. Taking proactive steps can make all the difference.
At Vision Dynamics Optometric Center, we aim to raise awareness and provide exceptional care to combat glaucoma. We make it easy for patients to prioritize their eye health and take steps to protect their vision.
Glaucoma: Understanding the Basics
Glaucoma is a condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure in the eye. While it can affect anyone, some individuals face higher risks:
- Adults over 40 years old
- Those with a family history of glaucoma
- Individuals with conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure
- African American, Asian, or Hispanic populations
Why Early Action is Critical
Because glaucoma develops quietly, many people don’t realize they have it until their vision is already compromised. Regular eye exams are essential for early detection and successful management of this condition.
