January Is Glaucoma Awareness Month

Sunday December 28, 2008
Eye testDuring the month of January, the EyeSmart campaign of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, and Eye Care America, a public service program of the Foundation of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, want to remind people that knowing your risks for glaucoma can save your sight. Glaucoma is a leading cause of preventable blindness because it often goes undetected - about half of the three million Americans who have the disease are unaware of it.
