“Saving Women’s Sight”

April is Women’s Eye Health and Safety Month, which should serve as a reminder that
maintaining ocular health is of paramount importance. Not only do two-thirds of cases of
visual impairment occur among women, three-quarters of visual impairment is considered
to be preventable or correctable. The first step toward maintaining good vision and
effectively treating eye disease involves prevention. Bear in mind that diseases such as
glaucoma usually occur without the notice of the patient. Thus, it is only through regular
and thorough vision screening that diagnoses are made and treatment is begun before
potentially unalterable damage occurs. No woman should be so busy that she cannot
schedule a comprehensive eye exam that could lead to circumventing needless vision
loss.
If you think you’re at risk for glaucoma, and haven’t had a medical eye examination in
the past two years, you may want to call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A.
