The new year is a perfect time to think about fresh starts—including taking care of your eyes. Glaucoma is a common condition that can lead to vision loss if left untreated, but it often develops quietly, with few or no symptoms. Routine eye exams are the best way to catch it early and protect your sight.
Glaucoma risk increases with age or a family history of the condition, but early detection and treatment can help preserve vision for years.
Stay proactive this January:
Schedule an eye exam – Even if your vision seems fine, check for early signs of glaucoma and other eye conditions.
Know your risk factors – Age, family history, high eye pressure, and certain medical conditions can increase your likelihood.
Stay healthy – Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and managing conditions like diabetes support overall eye health.
Protect your eyes year-round – Sunglasses help block UV rays, even in winter when sunlight reflects off snow or pavement.
Glaucoma may be silent, but awareness and action make a difference. Start 2026 by prioritizing your eye health and step into the year ready to see all the bright opportunities ahead.
