What is glaucoma?
“Glaucoma isn’t a single condition — it’s a group of diseases that damage the optic nerve, the vital communication link between the eye and brain. While there is no cure, regular glaucoma screenings are crucial for early treatment to halt the disease’s gradual and irreversible effects, helping preserve vision and prevent further loss.”

“There are many reasons for your eyes to water — you simply may have too many tears or insufficient drainage caused by blocked tear ducts. Your eyes may also become watery to over-compensate for the symptoms of dry eyes. Before the symptoms of excess tears become too severe, it’s important to seek out an optometrist near you for answers.”
