During the #GlaucomaAwarenessMonth we encourage sharing this information with your loved ones, so they can also be informed about this ailment that damages the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the retina to the brain.
Typically, the disease progresses slowly, gradually destroying peripheral vision. Since people are unaware of early peripheral vision loss, a patient can lose most of it before they even know they have glaucoma. Once vision is lost to glaucoma, it can’t be regained.
