Living with Glaucoma
A diagnosis of glaucoma shouldn't prevent you from enjoying your life. When you have the facts, you can take charge of your health with just a few adjustments to your routine. Remember, most cases of glaucoma are managed through medication, surgery, or a combination of treatments. With an early diagnosis, most people with glaucoma do not go blind.
