Glaucoma: The silent thief of sight
Glaucoma is a disease that causes optic nerve damage and potential blindness, impacting millions globally. Often asymptomatic, it’s dubbed the 'silent thief of sight.' Regular eye check-ups are essential, especially for high-risk groups. Misuse of steroids can exacerbate the risk. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent visual disability. World Glaucoma Week promotes awareness and early detection.
