January is Glaucoma Awareness Month.
Did you know there are 4 different types of glaucoma? Every type of this disease can go unnoticed by the affected patient until it has progressed to a point where it cannot be treated. There is no cure for glaucoma, and it is one of the leading causes of blindness in Canadians. It is also known as the Silent Theft of Sight.
Glaucoma can also be genetic, so those with a family history of the disease should be seen by an optometrist on a regular basis. Whether you have a family history or not - the best way to catch this eye disease early enough to slow the progression is with regular eye examinations!
Our office is accepting new patients, so call or book online today.
