January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month -- Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of vision loss, and it often has no early warning signs. That’s why regular eye exams are so important, especially as we age.

Routine eye checkups can help catch glaucoma early and protect vision. The good news is that when glaucoma is detected early, treatment can often slow or prevent vision loss.

Learn more about glaucoma, risk factors, and the importance of regular eye exams at the National Eye Institute:

These changes do not automatically mean a crisis but may be a sign that added support could help your loved one live more safely and comfortably.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

Our beautiful community at Oxbow Lake is ready for the special day!
