January 2026 was National Glaucoma Awareness Month, a time dedicated to educating the public about glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness, often called the "silent thief of sight" because it typically has no early symptoms. The month highlights the importance of regular comprehensive eye exams for early detection and treatment, emphasizing that while there's no cure, early intervention can slow or prevent vision loss.
