๐๏ธ MYTH vs. FACT: The Silent Thief of Sight! ๐จ
โ MYTH: "If I donโt feel any pain, I donโt have glaucoma."
โ
FACT: Glaucoma steals vision silentlyโwith NO pain or symptoms until irreversible damage occurs!
๐ก Why Itโs Dangerous:
90% of glaucoma patients donโt realize they have it early
High eye pressure can damage the optic nerve painlessly
Lost vision canโt be restored
๐ก๏ธ Protect Yourself:
โ Get a comprehensive eye exam yearly (especially after 40)
โ Know your family history (genetics play a big role)
โ Monitor eye pressureโthe only way to catch it early!
๐ "Donโt wait for symptoms. Glaucoma wonโt warn you!"
