Glaucoma is More than Tunnel Vision
Taking a quick glance through Google images reveals quite a few depictions of what vision is like with glaucoma. Usually a couple of kids or scenery is shown in the middle with darkness surrounding it, otherwise known as “tunnel vision.” While this may be jarring for some, it’s not entirely accurate until an individual reaches end stage glaucoma. What’s more frightening to me is that vision “loss” for the vast majority of glaucoma is just subtle peripheral blur well before dimming or darkness manifests.
This blog, developed by the COA Communications Committee to educate the public, discusses the importance of regular eye exams in detecting and treating glaucoma. Consider placing it on your practice's website.
