Nearly 3 million people have glauco- ba, a leading cause of blindness in the ILnited States. What is glaucoma? It's n eye disease in which fluid creates ab normal pressure inside the eye, leading o vision loss or blindness.

B Anyone who has experienced trau- na to the eye. At first, there are no symptoms of Waucoma. Vision stays normal and there's no pain. However, as the disease Progresses, a person with advanced glau- oma may notice his or her side vision gradually failing. That is, objects in front flicts in expectations and parenting styles. Visitation, alimony, child support and guidance issues, not to mention the various feelings family members have for or against parents and extended family members and by Dave Larsen Family Support Center may still be seen clearly, but objects to the side may be missed. As the disease worsens, the field of vision narrows and blindness results. Glaucoma may be detected by an "air puff" test, or other tests to measure eye pressure. Most often glaucoma is found during a thorough eye exam. Glaucoma can't be cured. It can be treated through medications that control the increased fluid pressure or through laser surgery. When medications and laser surgery can't control the pressure, eye surgery is an option. People can protect their vision by early detection and treatment before glaucoma causes major vision loss. People who fall into one of the high-risgroups for the disease should have their eyes examined thoroughly every one-twyears e by an professional. For more information call the HAWC at Ext.
