GLAUCOMA: THE SNEAK THIEF OF SIGHT

Explains glaucoma in simplified terms. It focuses primarily on diagnosis and treatment. Glaucoma, the second leading cause of blindness in the U.S., is the leading cause of blindness in African-Americans, and the leading cause of preventable blindness in the nation. Glaucoma may occur at any age, but happens with increasing frequency during advancing years. Approximately 2% of the population over the age of 40 are affected. It is estimated that over 2 million Americans have glaucoma, and more than half of them are not aware they have the disease.
