Bond, O.D.Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases characterized by damage to the optic nerve.In its early stages, glaucoma may present few or no symptoms and can graduallysteal sight without warning. In fact, it is estimated that half of the peopleaffected by glaucoma do not know they have it. If left undetected and untreated,glaucoma can lead to blindness.One of the major risk factors for glaucoma is elevated intraocular pressure (IOP),or pressure inside the eye. A healthy eye produces fl uids, called aqueous humor,at the same rate at which it drains. High pressure occurs when the drainagesystem is blocked and the fl uid cannot exit at a normal rate. This increased IOPpushes against the optic nerve causing gradual damage, which may result invision loss, usually starting with the peripheral, or side vision. Increased eyepressure is often associated with gradual damage to the nerve fi bers that makeup the optic nerve. Family history of glaucoma, age, race, and diabetes are allcontributing risk factors for developing this “silent” eye disease.Call Bond Family Eye Care today for your Comprehensive Eye Health Evaluation.March 12 is World Glaucoma Daywww.WGDAY.netBOND FAMILY EYE CARETherapeutic Optometrists • Optometric Glaucoma Specialists2351 S.
