Most risk factors of glaucoma such as age, hereditary risk and race cannot be prevented.
While glaucoma cannot be prevented entirely, regular eye exams are essential for early detection, especially if you are at higher risk. Managing other health conditions such as diabetes, maintaining a healthy weight and not smoking can also help reduce the risk.
If you have a family history of glaucoma or are taking medications that put you at risk, regular eye examinations are essential. Early diagnosis is the key to prevent blindness as glaucoma nerve damage is irreversible.
