Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the U.S. and around the world. Because it frequently occurs no noticeable symptoms, it often goes undetected, leading to irreversible vision loss, including possible blindness. The good news is that regular visits to your eye doctor can detect glaucoma, and advanced treatments to lower eye pressure can stop or slow its progression. Here, Jullia Rosdahl, a glaucoma specialist at Duke Health, shares what you need to know about glaucoma and what you can do to lower your risk for vision loss and blindness.
