Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, often progressing without symptoms until it’s too late. At TotalVision Eyecare Center, we proudly serve North Haven patients and those from the surrounding areas, offering advanced diagnostic tools like the Eye Health Wellness Assessment. This January, during Glaucoma Awareness Month, prioritize your eye health by requesting a comprehensive examination.
Why Glaucoma Requires Your Attention
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. Without early detection, this condition can lead to permanent vision loss or blindness.
Key Facts About Glaucoma:
- It’s the second leading cause of blindness worldwide.
- It’s known as the "silent thief of sight" because it often progresses without noticeable symptoms.
- Vision loss caused by glaucoma cannot be reversed, but early detection can help preserve your sight.
Early Detection with the Eye Health Wellness Assessment
At TotalVision Eyecare Center, we use the latest technology to help detect glaucoma in its earliest stages. The Eye Health Wellness Assessment offers a detailed evaluation of your eye health, allowing our doctors to identify subtle changes that may not be visible during a regular exam.
Benefits of the Assessment:
- Advanced Imaging: Provides high-resolution views of the retina and optic nerve.
- Non-Invasive and Efficient: A quick, painless procedure that fits into your schedule.
- Proactive Care: Early detection allows for timely treatment to manage glaucoma and protect your vision.
Who Should Get Screened for Glaucoma?
While glaucoma can affect anyone, certain groups are at higher risk:
- Adults aged 40 and older.
- People with a family history of glaucoma.
- Individuals of African, Asian, or Hispanic descent.
- Those with chronic conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
- Patients who have experienced past eye injuries or long-term steroid use.
If you fall into any of these categories, regular comprehensive eye exams are essential.
