Glaucoma Diagnosis Reveals Significant Vision Loss
A diagnosis of normal tension glaucoma in July 2020 revealed that 40% of the patient's sight had already been lost. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, often with no early symptoms, meaning nearly half of those affected may not know they have it until vision loss occurs. The condition is not limited to older individuals.

I was diagnosed with normal tension glaucoma in July of 2020. And what we found out at that point was I had already lost 40% of my sight.”
