SUMMARY: Local eye doctors are raising awareness about a silent disease, glaucoma, as January marks Glaucoma Awareness Month. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the US and can come with little to no warning. Early detection is key, and routine eye exams are recommended for people aged 40-50. Vision loss with glaucoma is permanent, and the quicker it is diagnosed, the more vision can be saved. Doctors emphasize the importance of getting regular eye exams and raising awareness about the potential risks of glaucoma in order to prevent vision loss.
