Glaucoma is a silent, progressive condition that can lead to blindness if left undetected. This January, Wilson Eye Center encourages you to take charge of your eye health by requesting an Eye Health Wellness Assessment. Early detection is the key to protecting your sight.
Why Glaucoma Deserves Your Attention
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, which is responsible for transmitting visual information from your eyes to your brain. Often caused by elevated eye pressure, this damage leads to gradual vision loss that cannot be reversed.
The most alarming aspect of glaucoma is its silent progression. Many people don’t realize they have it until significant damage has already occurred, making regular assessments essential for early detection.
Who Is at Risk of Glaucoma?
While glaucoma can affect anyone, certain factors increase the likelihood of developing this condition, including:
- Being over 40 years old
- Having a family history of glaucoma
- Pre-existing conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or thin corneas
- African American, Hispanic, or Asian descent
If you fall into one or more of these categories, proactive assessments at Wilson Eye Center are especially important to safeguard your vision.
Early Detection Saves Sight
Although vision loss from glaucoma cannot be reversed, early detection can prevent further damage. Treatments like medicated eye drops, laser therapy, or minimally invasive surgery are highly effective when glaucoma is caught in its early stages.
At Wilson Eye Center, our Eye Health Wellness Assessment uses advanced, non-invasive technology to evaluate your optic nerve and detect early signs of glaucoma. By identifying potential problems early, we can create a personalized care plan to protect your sight.
