Glaucoma is a silent threat to your sight, often progressing without symptoms until it’s too late. This January, Family Vision Clinic encourages you to prioritize your eye health with an Eye Health Wellness Assessment. Request an appointment today.
The Hidden Danger of Glaucoma
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide, but it often goes unnoticed in its early stages. The condition damages the optic nerve, which is essential for transmitting visual information from your eyes to your brain.
This damage is typically caused by increased pressure inside the eye. However, what makes glaucoma so dangerous is its silent progression—many people don’t realize their vision is at risk until significant and permanent loss has occurred.
Know Your Risk Factors
While glaucoma can affect anyone, certain individuals are more likely to develop this condition:
- Adults over the age of 40
- Those with a family history of glaucoma
- People with diabetes, high blood pressure, or thin corneas
- Individuals of African American, Hispanic, or Asian heritage
If you fall into these categories, regular Eye Health Wellness Assessments to detect glaucoma are essential to protect your sight.
How the Eye Health Wellness Assessment Helps
At Family Vision Clinic, we use the Eye Health Wellness Assessment to catch glaucoma early. This advanced, non-invasive test evaluates your optic nerve and identifies key indicators of glaucoma before symptoms arise.
The process is simple, painless, and gives you the knowledge you need to make proactive decisions about your eye health.
Why Early Detection Matters
Although vision loss from glaucoma cannot be reversed, its progression can be slowed or stopped when detected early. Treatments such as:
- Eye drops to reduce intraocular pressure
- Laser therapy to improve fluid drainage
- Minimally invasive surgeries
are highly effective in preserving your vision when the condition is caught in its initial stages.
