Silver Spring Health:  Glaucoma Awareness Month

Glaucoma is a serious, lifelong eye disease that can lead to vision loss if not controlled. But for most people, glaucoma does not have to lead to blindness. That is because glaucoma is controllable with modern treatment, and there are many choices to help keep glaucoma from further damaging your eyes. Treatment cannot reverse damage that has already occurred, but it can prevent further vision loss.

Here you will find facts, statistics and interactive tools on glaucoma and your eye health. And if you know someone who has glaucoma, or you think may have glaucoma, please visit SilverSpringCenter.com’s Health page for more information.
