Glaucoma doesn’t wait for symptoms to make its presence known. It silently damages your vision until it’s too late to reverse the effects. Often called the "silent thief of sight," glaucoma can lead to permanent blindness if not caught early.
This January, in honor of Glaucoma Awareness Month, DuPage Family Eye Care focuses on what you can do to stay ahead of this condition. With the right tools and proactive care, you can protect your vision and live confidently, knowing you’ve taken the right steps for your eye health.
Why Glaucoma Is a Bigger Threat Than You Think
Unlike some eye conditions that cause immediate discomfort or noticeable changes, glaucoma often develops without apparent signs. When symptoms such as peripheral vision loss or halos around lights occur, there is already significant and irreversible damage.
What makes you more likely to develop glaucoma?
- Being over 40
- Family history of glaucoma
- Health conditions like diabetes or hypertension
Regular eye exams are the only way to detect glaucoma before it causes lasting harm.
How DuPage Family Eye Care Detects Glaucoma Early
