Glaucoma is a leading cause of vision loss and blindness in the United States. And while there is no outright cure for Glaucoma, identifying Glaucoma early with a comprehensive dilated eye exam -- followed by appropriate treatment by a qualified provider -- can often stop it from severely damaging your vision. 

While anyone can get Glaucoma, some people are at higher risk than others, including people who:

• are over age 60 
• are Black/African American and over age 40
• are Hispanic/Latino
• have a family history of Glaucoma

Learn more about Glaucoma at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) / National Eye Institute -- and talk to your FCMG provider about your risk for Glaucoma and establishing a regular eye exam with one of the eye-health experts at our affiliates at CNY Ophthalmology.
