LASIK and Eye Surgery Blog - Clearview Eye and Laser Medical Center

Today, March 6, 2008, is the first global World Glaucoma Day, an initiative aimed at raising awareness of glaucoma, an eye disease of the optic nerve that affects 65 million people worldwide. Glaucoma is the second-leading cause of blindness in the United States and worldwide.

Unfortunately, at the present time, no cure exists for glaucoma, but early detection and treatment can certainly help preserve your eyesight.

People over the age of 40 are encouraged to have regular, comprehensive eye exams that include a careful examination of the optic nerve and measurement of eye pressure.

To learn more about glaucoma and how it can be treated to preserve eyesight, please contact Clearview Eye and Medical Laser Center today to schedule your initial appointment.
