Don't let blurred vision steal your sight. Discover the subtle whispers of glaucoma before it steals your precious visual clarity. Here's how.
Imagine the world painted in a hazy watercolor, edges softened and details lost. This, unfortunately, can be the reality of glaucoma, a thief of sight that often hides until its impact is felt. But knowledge is power! Recognizing the early signs of glaucoma equips you to safeguard your vision and seek timely help. So, let's shed light on the subtle clues before darkness sets in.
Dimming the Spotlight:
Tunnel Vision: Your peripheral vision, once wide-angled, starts narrowing like a tunnel. Notice if objects on the sides seem to fade or disappear.
Blurred Vision: Yes, blurred vision can have many causes, but with glaucoma, it's often gradual and affects specific areas, like halos around lights.
Eye Pain or Discomfort: While not always present, a dull ache or pressure in your eyes could be an early warning sign of glaucoma.
Frequent Headaches: Persistent headaches, especially around the eyes, can sometimes be linked to increased eye pressure, a hallmark of glaucoma.
