Glaucoma is a silent threat to your sight, often progressing without symptoms. At Bethesda Vision Care, our advanced diagnostics and compassionate team help detect glaucoma early, protecting your vision for years to come. Request an Eye Health Wellness Assessment today.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is an eye condition that gradually damages the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. This damage can lead to irreversible vision loss and is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide.
The challenge with glaucoma is its silent progression. Many people don’t experience symptoms until significant and permanent damage has already occurred, making early detection critical.
Who is Most at Risk?
Glaucoma can affect anyone, but certain groups face a higher risk:
- Adults over the age of 40
- Individuals with a family history of glaucoma
- Those with diabetes, high blood pressure, or thin corneas
- African American, Hispanic, and Asian populations
If any of these apply to you, an Eye Health Wellness Assessment at Bethesda Vision Care is essential to detect glaucoma and protect your sight.
