| Glaucoma: are you at risk?
Glaucoma is known as the “sneak” thief of sight. It causes a gradual reduction in peripheral vision making it almost impossible for people to self-detect. If left untreated it leads to irreversible vision loss and eventual blindness.
It is a common and serious eye disease affecting
1 in every 50 Australians over the age of 40.
FAMILY HISTORY INCREASES RISK 4 – 5 TIMES

Glaucoma is known as the “sneak” thief of sight, over 300,000 Australians have glaucoma, but half of them don’t know they have it.
Glaucoma causes a gradual reduction in side vision loss making it almost impossible for people to self-detect in the early stages. If left untreated it leads to IRREVERSIBLE vision loss and eventual blindness.
