The Complete Guide to Glaucoma
Glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness in the U.S, affecting an estimated 3 million Americans.
The National Eye Institute projects this number will increase by 58% to affect 4.2 million Americans by 2030 due to the aging population.

Glaucoma causes damage to the eye’s optic nerve, which connects the eyeball to the brain. Over time, damage to the optic nerve causes permanent vision loss or blindness. Glaucoma is often referred to as the “silent thief of sight” because it has no early signs or symptoms until vision loss begins. Once the disease has advanced to the point that symptoms are apparent and vision is impaired, it’s usually too late to prevent or reverse vision loss.
At Baptist Eye Surgeons, we believe it’s important for patients to know if they’re at risk of developing glaucoma, and what can be done to prevent permanent vision loss or blindness if they do develop the disease. For that reason, we’ve put together The Complete Guide To Glaucoma.
A few key things you will learn:
- Symptoms of glaucoma
- Glaucoma risk factors
- Glaucoma treatments
- Surgical procedures to treat glaucoma
- What to expect during glaucoma surgery
- Recovering from glaucoma surgery
