What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a disease that damages the optic nerve. It is usually caused by elevated pressure in the eye.

It is referred to as the “sneak thief of vision”. This is because it often has no symptoms until the vision has already been permanently damaged.

It is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States.

It can be detected during your routine eye health exam and vision loss can be prevented with early treayment.
