“The Silent Thief of Sight” - A leading cause of blindness!

• Age over 45 years

• Family history of glaucoma

• Ethnic background

• Diabetes or hypothyroidism

• Very nearsighted or myopic

• History of injury to the eye

• Prolonged use of steroids (cortisone)

Studies have shown that the early detection and treatment of glaucoma, before it causes major vision loss, is the best way to control the disease.

Between 89,000 and 120,000 people are blind from glaucoma, accounting for approximately ten percent of all cases of blindness. However, when glaucoma is diagnosed early and treated adequately, it rarely ends in blindness.
