Glaucoma Awareness Month: Early Detection Saves Vision

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, often progressing silently without warning signs. This Glaucoma Awareness Month, Eyewear Gallery urges you to take control of your eye health. Request an Eye Health Wellness Assessment to begin your journey to healthy vision for a lifetime.

The Hidden Dangers of Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a condition that damages the optic nerve, usually due to increased pressure within the eye. This nerve is essential for clear vision, transmitting visual information from your eyes to your brain.

The condition is dangerous because it develops gradually and often without noticeable symptoms. By the time changes in vision are detected, the damage is permanent. That’s why regular assessments are crucial for detecting glaucoma early.

Who Is at Risk?

Glaucoma can affect anyone, but some people are at higher risk:

Individuals over 40

Those with a family history of glaucoma

People with diabetes, hypertension, or thin corneas

African American, Hispanic, or Asian populations

If you fall into any of these categories, a proactive assessment is essential. At Eyewear Gallery, we make early detection simple and stress-free with the Eye Health Wellness Assessment.

How Early Detection Protects Your Sight

Vision loss from glaucoma is irreversible, but early intervention can prevent its progression. Treatments like medicated eye drops, laser procedures, or surgery are most effective when glaucoma is caught early.

Our Eye Health Wellness Assessment uses state-of-the-art imaging to evaluate your optic nerve and other critical structures. This non-invasive test is quick, painless, and gives you a head start in protecting your sight.
