What if you were losing your vision and didn’t even know it? That’s the dangerous reality of glaucoma, a condition that can lead to irreversible blindness without warning.
During Glaucoma Awareness Month, Accent Eyewear invites you to take charge of your eye health and protect your sight. With modern diagnostic tools, you can detect glaucoma early and stop it.
What Glaucoma Does to Your Vision
People often misunderstand Glaucoma, but its effects are profound. It damages the optic nerve, which acts as the bridge between your eyes and brain. As the nerve deteriorates, vision loss begins—starting at the edges and moving inward.
The worst part? Most people experience no symptoms until significant damage has occurred. Risk factors include:
- Age (40 and older)
- A family history of glaucoma
- Health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure
Without regular assessments, glaucoma can go unnoticed until it’s too late to prevent permanent vision loss.
Advanced Assessments Make Early Detection Possible
At Accent Eyewear, we utilize cutting-edge technology to stay ahead of glaucoma. Our Eye Health Wellness Assessment offers a non-invasive way to detect even the earliest signs of retinal and optic nerve damage. This fast, comfortable, and precise test gives you a clear picture of your eye health.
The benefits of this advanced assessment include:
- Early Diagnosis: Identifies glaucoma before symptoms appear.
- Tailored Monitoring: Tracks changes in your optic nerve over time.
- Proactive Treatment Options: Provides opportunities to preserve your vision.
By committing to regular exams, you’re taking a critical step in protecting your sight and preventing the long-term effects of glaucoma.
