The Silent Killer of Eyes

Does everyone know about the Silent Killer? High Blood Pressure? How high blood pressure can exist silently – without symptoms – for years until the sudden heart attack or stroke happens? There is also a silent killer of eyes – glaucoma.

Three million Americans have glaucoma – about 1 in a 100. Only half of them know they have it. And if human nature holds true, only half of them are doing something about it. That’s one in four. That means three out of four are facing limited or total loss of vision. Glaucoma is the silent killer of eyes.
