What happens during cataract surgery?
What you need to know about preparation, surgery and recovery
Glaucoma is an eye disease that affects 2-3% of people over the age of 60. It is the second most common cause of blindness in the western world and the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, after cataracts.
There may be no symptoms to glaucoma as it is often a silent disease slowly developing over time. It is often detected during a glasses assessment by a vigilant optometrist, or because a patient is aware of the risk and has chosen to have their eyes formally checked.
Early detection, through regular and complete eye exams, is the key to protecting your vision from damage caused by glaucoma.
