Glaucoma, the “silent thief of sight,” is the leading cause of irreversible blindness, affecting nearly 800,000 Canadians. Yet, less than half of Canadians are familiar with it. Glaucoma often develops without symptoms, making regular comprehensive eye exams essential for early detection and prevention of vision loss. Although there is no cure, treatments can slow its progression. As Canada’s population ages, the risk of vision impairment grows, highlighting the need for greater awareness and national initiatives to support eye health. Don’t wait—prioritize your vision health today!
