Glaucoma develops quietly, often leading to irreversible vision loss if left undetected. This January, Murray Scholls Vision Center encourages you to request an Eye Health Wellness Assessment to detect glaucoma early and preserve your sight.
The Danger of Silent Vision Loss
Glaucoma is a progressive condition that damages the optic nerve, responsible for transmitting visual information from your eyes to your brain. Often caused by elevated eye pressure, glaucoma can lead to blindness if untreated.
What makes glaucoma especially concerning is its lack of early symptoms. Vision loss begins at the edges of your sight and gradually moves inward. By the time most people notice changes, the damage is permanent.
Who Is Most Likely to Develop Glaucoma?
Glaucoma can affect anyone, but certain factors increase the likelihood of developing this condition:
- Adults over 40 years of age
- Individuals with a family history of glaucoma
- Those with high eye pressure, thin corneas, or other eye conditions
- People with diabetes or high blood pressure
- African American, Hispanic, and Asian populations
If you fall into any of these categories, regular assessments are essential for protecting your vision.
Early Detection Saves Eyesight
While glaucoma-related vision loss cannot be reversed, early detection can prevent further damage. Treatments like medicated eye drops, laser procedures, or surgery are most effective when glaucoma is caught in its initial stages.
