Glaucoma often develops without warning, quietly affecting your vision over time. During Glaucoma Awareness Month, Kips Bay Optical encourages you to request an Eye Health Wellness Assessment to protect your sight and your future.
What Is Glaucoma, and Why Is It So Serious?
Glaucoma is a progressive eye condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. This nerve plays a vital role in transmitting visual information from your eyes to your brain.
The problem? Glaucoma usually progresses without noticeable symptoms. Vision loss often begins at the edges of your sight and advances inward. By the time you notice a problem, the damage is permanent.
Are You at Risk for Glaucoma?
While glaucoma can affect anyone, certain groups are more susceptible:
- Adults over 40 years old
- Individuals with a family history of glaucoma
- People with diabetes, high blood pressure, or thin corneas
- African American, Hispanic, and Asian populations
If any of these apply to you, a comprehensive eye exam is especially important.
Early Detection Makes All the Difference
Glaucoma-related vision loss cannot be reversed, but early detection can prevent it from worsening. Treatments like medicated eye drops, laser therapy, or surgery are highly effective when glaucoma is caught in its early stages.
