Glaucoma is a silent but serious threat to your sight. At Eye Care Group of Southern Oregon, we combine advanced diagnostics with compassionate care to protect your vision. Request an Eye Health Wellness Assessment at our Grants Pass or Cave Junction location today.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, which is essential for transmitting visual information from your eyes to your brain. Most often linked to increased eye pressure, this condition can lead to irreversible vision loss if left untreated.
The challenge with glaucoma is that it often progresses without early symptoms. Many people don’t realize their sight is at risk until significant damage has already occurred.
Who is at Risk for Glaucoma?
While anyone can develop glaucoma, certain individuals are more vulnerable:
- Adults over 40 years old
- People with a family history of glaucoma
- Individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, or thin corneas
- African American, Hispanic, or Asian populations
If you fall into these groups, regular Eye Health Wellness Assessments at Eye Care Group of Southern Oregon to detect glaucoma are vital to protecting your sight.
