This is fact! ✅

In the early stages of glaucoma, individuals often do not experience noticeable symptoms. This is why glaucoma is sometimes referred to as the "silent thief of sight." The gradual loss of peripheral vision associated with glaucoma may go unnoticed until the disease has progressed to more advanced stages.

It's important to note that the symptoms can vary depending on the type of glaucoma. Regular eye examinations, especially for individuals with risk factors, are crucial for early detection and management of glaucoma. During these exams, eye care professionals can measure intraocular pressure, assess the optic nerve, and perform visual field tests to detect any signs of this potentially sight-robbing disease.
