As we enter a new year, there’s no better time to commit to your eye health. Glaucoma, often called the "silent thief of sight," can cause permanent vision loss if left undetected. Fortunately, San Leandro Optometry Group in San Leandro offers the Eye Health Wellness Assessment, an advanced tool that can help detect glaucoma before it’s too late.
This January, during Glaucoma Awareness Month, prioritize your vision and take the first step toward a healthier future.
What You Need to Know About Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a progressive eye condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. Without early detection and treatment, it can lead to irreversible vision loss.
Key facts about glaucoma:
- No Early Symptoms: Most people don’t notice any vision changes until the disease has advanced.
- Permanent Effects: Once vision is lost, it cannot be restored.
- Risk Increases with Age: People over 40, especially those with a family history, are more susceptible.
The best defense against glaucoma is a proactive approach to eye care.

Who Should Request an Eye Health Wellness Assessment?
While glaucoma can affect anyone, some people are at higher risk:
- Adults aged 40 and older.
- Individuals with a family history of glaucoma.
- Those with diabetes or high blood pressure.
- People of African, Asian, or Hispanic descent.
