More than 2 million Americans aged 40 and older suffer from glaucoma. Nearly half do not know they have the disease — it has no early symptoms. Because of this, glaucoma is often referred to as the "sneak thief of sight". Organizations are encouraged to educate the community through screenings, forums and programs. This is the perfect time to schedule an eye examination and discuss the risk factors for glaucoma and potential treatment options.
Encourage advertisers and readers to take eye health seriously. This event presents the ideal tie-in opportunity for eye doctors, retail eyewear shops, senior centers and more.
