Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it can cause irreversible vision loss without any noticeable symptoms in its early stages. The most common form, open-angle glaucoma, progresses slowly and painlessly, causing damage to the optic nerve. By the time an individual notices blind spots or changes in their peripheral vision, the damage is already significant and permanent. This makes early detection through regular, comprehensive eye exams crucial for preserving vision.
