Glaucoma

 

Glaucoma

Glaucoma can take away your sight. Many people have glaucoma and don’t even know it…

Commonly known as the “silent thief of sight”, glaucoma develops gradually and quietly in most cases. It is associated with the accumulation of fluid pressure in the eyes, damaging your sight.  Initially, the effect of glaucoma is loss of peripheral vision. It will then advance to reduction in central vision, then eventually, blindness.  This severe eye disease is common to adults aged 35 years old and up, affecting about two out of every 100 people.
