Q: Why is glaucoma called the "silent thief of sight"?

A: Glaucoma is often termed the "silent thief of sight" because it typically progresses without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss occurs. It involves damage to the optic nerve, often due to increased eye pressure. Regular eye examinations are essential for early detection and management to prevent irreversible vision loss.

Did you know that Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness in older adults, actually has two forms? 🤔

90% of cases are the "dry" form, which may have no symptoms at first. Dry AMD affects vision as light-sensitive cells slowly break down with age. 👴 However, "wet" AMD is more severe and often develops from pre-existing dry AMD⚠️

Find out more from the diagram above ☝ Your risk of AMD increases with age, family history, smoking, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases. ❤️‍🩹

If you know someone who might be at risk, encourage them to get regular eye exams! Early diagnosis is key to preventing blindness 🔑
