Glaucoma

Often called the “silent thief.”

Glaucoma is a disease you may not know you have, and it’s stealing your vision. When glaucoma develops, there isn’t any pain, and the damage develops slowly. The optic nerve contains 1.2 million neurons. Glaucoma damages these neurons which can cause blindness if left untreated.

You can preserve your vision and slow down the progression of glaucoma through routine exams at the Indiana Eye Clinic. We can help manage the condition with early detection.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma it is often referred to as a “silent thief“ because of its ability to slowly rob a person of their vision in the absence of other symptoms. In simple terms, glaucoma is a disease that destroys the nerve fibers that connect the eye to the brain. This can result in a gradual, almost undetectable loss of vision. Severe cases can end in complete blindness.
