Some people may have early warning signs, but most patients will not notice any vision loss until the disease is at a late stage.
There are two main types of glaucoma, primary open-angle and primary angle-closure, each with very different features.
Two parts comprise the visual system: The optical system (your eye) and the perceptual system (your brain). Fundamentally, the brain analyzes the information your eye gathers.
Learn how nonprofit organizations can assist both patients and doctors by providing a unique role in glaucoma care and patient advocacy.
As glaucoma patients, a basic understanding of glaucoma and its treatment is helpful to prepare for eye doctor visits.
One way to reduce vision loss from glaucoma is to make sure your family members understand that they are at increased risk — if you have glaucoma.
Everyone is at risk for glaucoma. However, certain groups are at higher risk than others.
If you’ve been told you are a glaucoma suspect, you’re in good company — there are several million glaucoma suspects in the USA.
