More than three million Americans over the age of 40 have developed glaucoma. And that number is expected to double by the year 2050! Glaucoma is also the second leading cause of blindness in most industrialized countries. The bad news is that there is no cure for glaucoma. You can have glaucoma without experiencing any symptoms yet, and vision loss only occurs once glaucoma has set in. The good news is that if glaucoma is caught early, the progression can be slowed—even significantly. And your eyesight can be saved.
