Understanding Glaucoma

As one of the leading causes of blindness, glaucoma is a particular problem that does not usually come with noticeable symptoms. Many people lost up to 40 percent of their peripheral vision before they even visit the eye doctor to get glaucoma treatment .

This disorder affects about 2 million people in the United States alone. It is caused by an increase of pressure within the eye. When there is too much fluid created or the eye cannot drain it properly, it might lead to pressure that causes compressive damage against the nerve.

The best way to target glaucoma is to visit Spindel Eye Associates for regular eye exams. He or she can look for signs of the disorder while performing your regular vision check.
