Glaucoma: The Silent Threat to Vision – Why Early Detection Matters

Protect Your Sight: Raising Awareness for World Glaucoma Week

Glaucoma is often called the "silent thief of sight" because it can progress without symptoms until significant vision loss occurs. As one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide, early detection is crucial in protecting your long-term eye health.

This World Glaucoma Week, we’re shining a light on the importance of regular eye examinations. Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, often due to increased eye pressure, but with early diagnosis and advanced treatment options, its progression can be slowed or even prevented.

At Wilson Fitzpatrick Family Optometrists, we use the latest diagnostic technology to detect glaucoma in its earliest stages. Whether you have a family history of glaucoma or simply haven’t had an eye test in a while, now is the time to prioritise your vision.

Book your comprehensive eye exam today—because when it comes to glaucoma, early detection is everything.
