Glaucoma - The Silent Eye Thief

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness both in USA and Europe.
People are more and more concerned about their sight. Blindness is the third in the top fears, among cancer and cardiovascular failure. Our eyes are the main connection we have with the exterior world and now, when we are surrounded by technology we have to interact with, it is even more important that we preserve and keep the sight we are given.

Glaucoma can lead to complete blindness, in the majority of cases it has no symptoms (depending on the type), so we may even not notice when it starts to develop. It is also named the "silent eye thief", because it may appear unnoticed and with a few symptoms.

This web page brings together the most interesting aspects of glaucoma. We hope it will be a help to both glaucoma patients and to those concerned about the health of their eyes.
