👁️ 5 Facts About Glaucoma 👁️
Silent Threat: Glaucoma often develops without noticeable symptoms. Regular eye exams are crucial for early detection and prevention.

Optic Nerve Damage: Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, disrupting the transmission of visual information to the brain.

Asymptomatic Progression: In its early stages, glaucoma may not present symptoms. However, as it progresses, individuals may experience patchy blind spots, tunnel vision, and severe headaches.

Prevention: While glaucoma isn't entirely preventable, routine eye exams and early intervention can significantly reduce the risk and slow down vision loss.
