Glaucoma Awareness- January

The 2023 month-long observance provides the perfect platform to increase awareness of glaucoma, promote the need for a cure, and spur advocacy on behalf of those suffering with the emotional, financial and physical burden of glaucoma. Regarded as a leading cause of irreversible blindness, Glaucoma refers to a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve that is often relate to high pressure in the eyes. Many forms of glaucoma have no warning signs initially. But if left untreated, it can significantly affect or take away vision over time. The effect is so gradual that a person may not notice a visible change in vision until the condition reaches its later stages. Undergoing regular eye exams at Clarity Eye Center can help prevent or slow the occurrence of vision loss.
