Glaucoma is a silent yet serious eye condition that can lead to vision loss if left undetected. At Ridgefield Family Eye Care, we use advanced technology and a caring approach to detect and manage glaucoma early. Request an Eye Health Wellness Assessment today.
Why Glaucoma Requires Early Detection
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, often due to elevated pressure in the eye. This damage disrupts the flow of visual information from your eyes to your brain, leading to gradual vision loss.
The most concerning aspect of glaucoma is its silent progression. Without regular assessments, many people don’t realize they have glaucoma until permanent damage has occurred.
Are You at Risk?
While glaucoma can affect anyone, some groups are more at risk than others. Key risk factors include:
- Age: Individuals over 40 face increased risk.
- Family History: Glaucoma often runs in families.
- Medical Conditions: Diabetes, high blood pressure, and thin corneas elevate risk.
- Ethnicity: African American, Hispanic, and Asian populations are more susceptible.
If any of these apply to you, regular Eye Health Wellness Assessments to detect glaucoma are essential to protect your vision.
