New research reveals 4.8% of Chinese Americans over 50 have open-angle glaucoma. 68.5% were previously undiagnosed. Key risk factors include age, family history, diabetes, and longer eyeball length. With rising myopia rates, early screening is crucial to help mitigate the burden of glaucoma.

New research from Dr. Rohit Varma and the African American Eye Disease Study Group reveals a concerning gap in eye care for African Americans.

A major study of over 6,000 participants found that while 54% had some form of eye disease, an alarming 22% had completely undetected conditions. The rates of missed diagnoses were particularly high for diabetic retinopathy (82% undetected) and age-related macular degeneration (72% undetected). However, there's hope: 61% of vision problems identified were actually correctable with proper care.

The takeaway is clear: regular eye exams truly save sight.
