Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of vision loss.
Here are 🖐️ things you need to know about glaucoma:

1️⃣ Glaucoma is a group of diseases that damage the optic nerve, usually related to high eye pressure.

2️⃣ Early glaucoma often has no symptoms, which is why it is known as a "silent" disease.

3️⃣ Peripheral (side) vision is affected first, so many people do not notice changes right away.

4️⃣ Anyone can develop glaucoma, but the risk increases with age, family history, and certain medical conditions.

5️⃣ A comprehensive eye exam is the only way to detect glaucoma early.

If you have not had an eye exam in the past year, call us to schedule an appointment at 319-362-3937.
