Glaucoma - Prevention



Researchers currently do not know the factors that cause glaucoma. As a result, there is no way to prevent the disorder. However, it is relatively easy to diagnose glaucoma in its early stages. The best preventive step is to have regular eye checkups. A normal part of those checkups is a tonometer test for glaucoma. Early detection of glaucoma can prevent the most serious consequences of the condition.
