Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it usually develops without early symptoms.
This condition damages the optic nerve and can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated. The good news is that glaucoma can often be managed when detected early and monitored over time.

Regular comprehensive eye exams allow your doctor to evaluate eye pressure, assess the optic nerve, and look for early signs of glaucoma.

Early detection helps protect long-term vision. Make your appointment today.

Women face a higher risk for several eye conditions, including dry eye disease, cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration.

In fact, the American Academy of Ophthalmology notes that nearly two-thirds of people living with vision impairment worldwide are women. Factors such as hormonal changes, autoimmune disease and longer life expectancy may contribute to this increased risk.

Regular comprehensive eye exams play an important role in detecting eye conditions early and helping protect long-term vision.

If it’s been a while since your last exam, April is a great time to schedule one.
