It's , and today we're talking about a condition often called the "silent thief of sight": Glaucoma.

In this short video, our glaucoma specialist, Dr. Eunice Yook, shares the three most important things everyone should know about this disease.

Here are the key takeaways:

✔️ It's Symptomless Early On: Most patients have no idea they have glaucoma until it's detected during a routine eye exam. By the time "tunnel vision" appears, the vision loss is permanent.
✔️ Treatments Can Prevent Blindness: If caught early, treatments like eye drops, lasers, and surgeries can effectively lower eye pressure and save your vision.
✔️ Early Detection is Everything: You can't prevent glaucoma, but you can prevent its devastating effects. This is especially crucial if you have a family history of the disease.

The message is clear: your annual eye exam is your single best defense against glaucoma.
