Glaucoma Awareness Month 2010

The G A M E event TBA

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month.  Most of you are probably hearing of this disease for the first time.  Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness in the United States of America and is the leading cause of ALL blindness among African Americans. The statics show that at least half of those with Glaucoma are not aware that they have it.  This disease can occur at any age so take precaution.

My mother has been dealing with this eye disease since I can remember.  Eye sight is one of our six senses that most of us take for granted.  I however, do not.  It is a serious condition that is preventable if caught early on.

The chances of developing Glaucoma increase as you approach the age of 40, but there are other risk factors that have nothing to do with age. In short, Glaucoma is a condition where the fluid behind your eye is elevated to an unsafe level.  As previously mention, this is a preventable disease.

I wanted to take this time to encourage you to take Regular eye exams to prevent this disease from attaching itself to your life.


We are anticipating the event to take place this month in support of Glaucoma Awareness Month.  We are deciding to donate a portion of proceeds to the Glaucoma Awareness Foundation.
