“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” 3 John 1:2 (NKJV)
January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month
According to the National Eye Institute, Glaucoma is a leading cause of vision loss and blindness in the United States. But as many as half of people with glaucoma don’t know they have it. Glaucoma has no early symptoms. The only way to check for it is to get a comprehensive dilated eye exam. There’s no cure for glaucoma, but starting treatment as early as possible can help stop vision loss. Anyone can get glaucoma, but some people are at higher risk, including people who:
Are over age 60
Are Black/African American and over age 40
Are Asian American
