Glaucoma Simplified

Registration required. 

Glaucoma, the most common cause of irreversible blindness in the world, most often presents without symptoms causing permanent vision loss. This discussion aims to provide a simplified framework to understand this common and devastating eye disease. We will breakdown who is at risk and when one should be evaluated, as well as what glaucoma diagnosis and treatment entails. Through knowledge and awareness of glaucoma, we hope to limit its negative impact in our community and beyond.
