Glaucoma is a Leading Cause of Blindness in the US

Fortunately, with early detection and treatment, glaucoma can be controlled.

Even if you show no signs of glaucoma, there are ways to prevent it from developing or keep it from progressing. Booking regular eye exams with your eye doctor can help slow down or prevent vision loss.

Using eye drops, medications, or surgery can also help lower your eye pressure, and try not to stress too much—as stress can trigger symptoms and exacerbate the condition.

While there is no cure of glaucoma, the disease can be controlled.

Book an appointment with Atkinson Eye Care to take the pressure of glaucoma off your shoulders.
