What is Glaucoma, and Why is Early Detection Important?
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure in the eye. This damage interrupts the flow of visual information from your eyes to your brain, leading to gradual and irreversible vision loss.
The silent progression of glaucoma makes early detection critical. Many people don’t experience symptoms until significant damage has already occurred, underscoring the importance of regular eye exams.
Who is Most at Risk of Developing Glaucoma?
Certain factors increase the likelihood of developing glaucoma, including:
- Age: Risk increases after 40.
- Family History: Glaucoma often runs in families.
- Medical Conditions: Diabetes, high blood pressure, and thin corneas elevate risk.
- Ethnicity: African American, Hispanic, and Asian populations are more susceptible.
If you fall into any of these categories, regular assessments at Eye Care One are essential to protect your vision.
