Understanding Glaucoma and Its Impact on Vision

Glaucoma is a leading cause of preventable blindness, affecting thousands of people across the UK. Often called the ‘silent thief of sight,’ this condition gradually damages the optic nerve, usually due to increased eye pressure. The biggest concern?

Regular eye examinations are crucial for early detection and treatment, helping to safeguard your vision before it’s too late.
