🔍 What to Know About Open Angle Glaucoma 👁️
Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can lead to blindness if not detected and treated in time. Here's what you need to know:
1️⃣ No Early Warning Signs
Glaucoma is often called the "silent thief of sight" because it develops without noticeable symptoms. Many people don’t realize they have glaucoma until significant damage has already occurred.
2️⃣ Progressive Vision Changes
As glaucoma progresses, vision can fluctuate and peripheral vision is lost. Since central vision is typically unaffected early on, you may not notice changes until the disease reaches an advanced stage.
3️⃣ Vision Loss is Irreversible
Unfortunately, once vision is lost due to glaucoma, it cannot be restored. That’s why early detection is crucial to managing the condition and preserving sight.
4️⃣ Glaucoma is Treatable
While glaucoma can’t be cured, it is treatable! Anti-glaucoma eye drops, laser treatment, and even surgery can help lower eye pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve.
5️⃣ Early Detection is Key
Regular eye exams are the most important way to catch glaucoma early — especially if you're at higher risk due to age, family history, or other factors. Early detection gives you the best chance to preserve your vision!
👩⚕️ Don’t wait for symptoms. Make eye exams part of your routine and take control of your eye health.📲 Share this information with your loved ones to help create awareness about glaucoma
