January is Glaucoma Awareness Month. This time aims to spread awareness about this stealthy condition that often develops without warning signs. Glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss if left undetected, making early diagnosis critical for preserving your sight.
At Weinstein Eye Associates, we are committed to providing expert care and education to help our community combat glaucoma.
What Sets Glaucoma Apart?
Unlike many other eye conditions, glaucoma often progresses silently. This means there are typically no symptoms in its early stages, leaving many unaware until significant damage has occurred. Key risk factors include:
- Age 40 and older
- A family history of glaucoma
- Pre-existing conditions like diabetes or hypertension
- Ethnicities such as African American, Asian, or Hispanic
The Power of Early Detection
Catching glaucoma early can prevent irreversible vision loss and significantly improve outcomes. By requesting regular eye exams, you can ensure that subtle changes in your optic nerve health don’t go unnoticed.
