Millions of people are living with glaucoma, and many don’t even know it. Vision loss from glaucoma is permanent, but early detection can help prevent it.

Regular eye exams are one of the most powerful tools we have to protect lifelong vision.

Take the first step:

Excellence in optometry doesn’t happen by chance; it’s built through constant training, continuing education, and a commitment to lifelong learning.

Optometric physicians and their team members continually update their skills and knowledge to stay current with the latest advancements in eye health, technology, and patient care. This dedication ensures patients receive high-quality, evidence-based care at every stage of life.

Investing in education means investing in better outcomes for patients, families, and communities across West Virginia.

If glaucoma runs in your family, your risk may be higher. Talking with relatives about eye health history is an important step in protecting your own vision.

Glaucoma often goes undetected without routine exams, especially for those with genetic risk factors.

Be proactive: Schedule a comprehensive eye exam with a WV eye doctor:

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month and we want you to be prepared.

Anyone can develop glaucoma, but some people are at higher risk, including:
• Adults over 60
• Those with a family history of glaucoma
• African American, Hispanic, or Asian individuals
• People with diabetes or high blood pressure
• Those who are severely nearsighted or use steroids long-term

Knowing your risk, and talking with an eye doctor, can help save your sight.

Glaucoma usually doesn’t cause pain or noticeable vision changes in its early stages. Many people don’t realize they have it until vision loss has already occurred.

A comprehensive dilated eye exam is the only way to detect glaucoma early, before permanent damage happens.

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness. Often called the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma can develop with no early warning signs and quietly damage vision over time.

The good news? Early detection through regular, comprehensive eye exams can help protect your sight.
