Glaucoma Awareness Screening

January is Glaucoma Awareness month.  Glaucoma is an eye disease which is the leading cause of preventable blindness in the world.  What is really bad about it is that people will not feel any differences in their eyes or notice the vision loss until late stages of the disease.  Glaucoma can be easily detected with a comprehensive eye exam.  If detected early, the disease can typically be controlled with using the proper eyedrops.  The Glaucoma Referral Center at Gupta EyeCare has the latest in medical technology so Dr. Gupta can make the correct diagnosis as early as possible.  If you have not had your eyes checked in the past year, call us at 203-889-8578 to schedule your appointment
