January is Glaucoma Awareness Month—a critical time to raise awareness about the “silent thief of sight.” Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often caused by elevated pressure in the eye, and is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Affecting over 3 million Americans, many are unaware they have the condition as it progresses without noticeable symptoms in its early stages.
Early detection through comprehensive eye exams is key to preserving vision. Those at higher risk, such as individuals over 60, those with a family history of glaucoma, and certain racial and ethnic groups need to be keenly aware of the benefits to early detection. Just because your eye doesn’t “hurt” doesn’t mean it’s healthy. At Low Vision Specialists, we utilize advanced technology to screen for functional defects in your vision prior to diseases showing up structurally. Together, we can take steps to protect sight and improve quality of life for those living with glaucoma. Call 417-598-0168 today to schedule an appointment.
