January marks National Glaucoma Awareness Month, and SouthCoast Health Optometrist, Dr. Edward Sammons recently appeared on WTOC's Morning Break to shed light on this serious eye condition. Glaucoma typically has no symptoms in its early stages. However, elevated pressure in the eye can be a warning sign and should not be ignored.
Certain factors, such as a family history of glaucoma, high blood pressure, or diabetes, can significantly increase your risk of developing the disease. Dr. Sammons emphasized the importance of regular, comprehensive eye exams as the best way to detect glaucoma early, when it is most treatable.
