Glaucoma: Ohio Eye Associates

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss and blindness in the United States. It can affect patients of all ages but becomes much more common with advancing age. Glaucoma is known as the “Thief or Sight” because there are few to no symptoms such as pain or noticeable vision loss early in the disease. In addition, at least half of people with glaucoma are unaware they have it. Peripheral, or side, vision is usually affected first, and patients rarely notice they have lost vision until significant, irreversible damage has already occurred.
