Did you know that glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight”? It can develop slowly and without pain - meaning many people don’t realise they have it until permanent vision loss has occurred.

Early detection is key to protecting your vision. Glaucoma is commonly linked to increased pressure inside the eye and can affect anyone, but you may be at higher risk if you:

✔️ Are over 40
✔️ Have a family history of glaucoma
✔️ Have diabetes or high blood pressure

With regular eye tests, glaucoma can often be detected early and managed effectively.

If you have concerns about your eye health, or it's been a while since your last sight test, get in touch with our friendly team today to book an appointment.
