Glaucoma
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a serious condition in which fluid pressure builds up inside the eye. If left untreated, this pressure can damage the optic nerve, which sends the images your eyes see to your brain. Because there are no early glaucoma symptoms or pain involved, most people with glaucoma don't even know they have it. Regular eye exams are essential to preventing or halting glaucoma and maintaining eye health, so schedule an eye exam today.*
At a glance:
- Left untreated, glaucoma can cause permanent blindness.
- Glaucoma is primarily inherited, so check your family eye health history.
- Glaucoma is more frequently found in African-Americans and anyone older than 40.
Have Your Eyes Examined Annually
