Glaucoma Awareness Month: Take the First Step Toward Healthy Vision

Glaucoma is often referred to as the "silent thief of sight" for a reason—it progresses without symptoms and can cause irreversible vision loss. At Optom-Eyes Vision Care, with four convenient locations in San Diego and El Centro, California, we’re here to help you take charge of your vision health.

This Glaucoma Awareness Month, make your vision a priority with our Eye Health Wellness Assessment, a proactive tool designed to detect glaucoma early.

Why Glaucoma Deserves Your Attention

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide, particularly for adults over the age of 40. Its ability to progress without warning makes it a serious threat to your sight.

Here’s why early detection is critical:

  • No Early Symptoms: Glaucoma develops gradually, often without noticeable signs.
  • Irreversible Vision Loss: Once damage occurs, it cannot be undone.
  • Risk Factors: Family history, age, and certain medical conditions increase your susceptibility.

Proactive care, including advanced eye assessments, is the best defense against glaucoma.

How the Eye Health Wellness Assessment Works

At Optom-Eyes Vision Care, we go beyond routine eye exams. Our Eye Health Wellness Assessment uses state-of-the-art technology to provide a comprehensive evaluation of your eye health, allowing for early detection of glaucoma and other conditions.

Why Choose the Eye Health Wellness Assessment?

  • Detailed Imaging: Detects subtle changes in the optic nerve and retina.
  • Non-Invasive & Quick: A simple, painless process that takes just minutes.
  • Peace of Mind: Gain confidence knowing your eye health is in expert hands.

Taking this step now can help safeguard your vision for the future.

Are You at Risk for Glaucoma?

Certain factors increase your risk of developing glaucoma. Consider scheduling an assessment if you:

  • Are over the age of 40.
  • Have a family history of glaucoma.
  • Are of African, Asian, or Hispanic descent.
  • Have diabetes, high blood pressure, or past eye injuries.

If any of these risk factors apply to you, it’s time to prioritize your eye health.
