💚 January is Glaucoma Awareness Month
Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it can cause vision loss before you even notice symptoms. But here’s the good news: early detection can make all the difference.
👁️ Get your eyes checked regularly
👁️ Know your family history
👁️ Protect your vision with routine screenings
Glaucoma affects millions of people, yet many don’t know they have it. This month, let’s spread the word and encourage our loved ones to prioritize their eye health.
Healthy vision starts with awareness.
