A dilated eye exam can detect glaucoma early and save your sight. Glaucoma is a group of diseases that damages the eye’s optic nerve, which carries visual signals to the brain. It can lead to vision loss or blindness if left untreated. Quite frequently, by the time people are diagnosed with glaucoma, they’ve already begun to notice changes in their side, or peripheral, vision.

Currently, 2.7 million Americans have glaucoma and studies show that at least half of all people with it don’t know they have this potentially blinding eye disease.

The good news is that glaucoma can be detected in its early stages through acomprehensive dilated eye exam.
