Por que algumas pessoas descobrem o glaucoma tarde demais? - GLAUCOMACAST

★ In today's GlaucomaCast, we talk about the biggest problem with glaucoma: being discovered too late. "I was fine. I didn't feel anything." This phrase sums it all up. Glaucoma starts with peripheral vision—the vision that the brain learns to compensate for on its own, without you realizing it. It gradually diminishes. You turn your body to see. You deviate without noticing you're deviating. When symptoms appear, the damage is already significant. The problem isn't lack of treatment. Glaucoma has solutions for all stages. The problem is the time lost before diagnosis. The earlier we discover it, the more treatment options there are. Sometimes surgery isn't even necessary. Therefore: go to the ophthalmologist once a year, even if you see well. And tell your loved ones to do the same—especially those with a family history of glaucoma, over 40 years old, with diabetes or high blood pressure.

For many years I have treated patients who lost their vision because they were not diagnosed with glaucoma at the right time, or because they did not receive the ideal treatment. Lack of information is a major enemy of glaucoma patients, and I created Glaucoma Talk so that together we can turn this around. ★ To learn more about me: http://www.soloftalmo.com.br/glaucoma ★ Want to consult with me?
