3 eye-opening facts about glaucoma

Glaucoma can sneak up and steal your sight when you're not looking. That's why you should talk to your doctor about dilated eye exams, as well as learn these facts.

3 eye-opening facts about glaucoma

1. Anyone can get glaucoma. But your age, family health history, and race or ethnicity can raise your risk.

2. There's no cure. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. But early treatment can help preserve more of your sight.

3. You can have it without symptoms. Dilated eye exams are the best way to find and treat glaucoma early, before most vision loss starts.
