For over 25 years, Seymour Eye Clinic has been a trusted name in eye care, blending innovation with a deep commitment to the Seymour, Indiana, community.

This January, during Glaucoma Awareness Month, take the first step in protecting your vision by scheduling an Eye Health Wellness Assessment.

What Makes Glaucoma a Silent Threat?

Glaucoma, often called the "silent thief of sight," progresses without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred. It’s a leading cause of blindness worldwide, but early detection can prevent severe damage.

Key Facts About Glaucoma:

  • Gradual Damage: Glaucoma typically affects peripheral vision first, making it easy to miss.
  • Irreversible Vision Loss: Damage to the optic nerve cannot be reversed but can be slowed or stopped if caught early.
  • Increased Risk Factors: Adults over 40, those with a family history, and individuals with diabetes are more prone to glaucoma.

The Role of the Eye Health Wellness Assessment

At Seymour Eye Clinic, the Eye Health Wellness Assessment provides an in-depth analysis of your eye health, offering insights beyond a standard eye exam.

Why Choose This Assessment?

  • Advanced Retinal Imaging: Captures detailed images of the retina and optic nerve to detect early signs of glaucoma.
  • Quick and Comfortable: A non-invasive process designed to fit seamlessly into your schedule.
  • Actionable Results: Our team will guide you through the findings and discuss preventive or treatment options.

How to Recognize Your Risk

Glaucoma can impact anyone, but certain factors increase susceptibility:

  • Age over 40.
  • Family history of glaucoma.
  • Chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
  • Long-term steroid use.
  • Previous eye injuries or surgeries.

If any of these apply to you, regular assessments are essential to safeguarding your sight.
