January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month
Did you know more than three million people in the United States have glaucoma? There's no better time to spread the word about glaucoma and educate yourself on how to spot early signs of the disease.

Glaucoma can cause loss of vision and blindness. Symptoms might start so slowly you don't notice them, and it can occur in one or both eyes. Only a thorough eye exam will confirm glaucoma. Though there is no cure for this eye condition, early treatment can stop damage to the eye and protect your vision. Talk to your eye doctor about your risk for glaucoma and how often you need to be tested.
