Glaucoma affects more than 80 million individuals worldwide, damages the optic nerve, leads to vision loss, and, if not controlled, leads to blindness. Glaucoma affects more than 2.5 million Americans over forty, with prevalence doubling over the next few decades. Approximately one-half of these individuals are undiagnosed. As primary eye care providers, Optometrists are well-positioned to have an essential role in preventing visual impairment from glaucoma.
