January is Glaucoma Awareness Month. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of vision loss, as it begins by taking away some of your peripheral vision. Anyone with a family history of glaucoma, over 60, or has diabetes is at a higher risk. Talk with your eye doctor about getting checked for glaucoma. Early detection is important!
