Living With Glaucoma

Vision Loss And Glaucoma

The damage to the optic nerve in glaucoma often means some form of vision loss, even if it can be minimizedÂdue to treatment. However, patients do have a few different options available to them, all of which their doctor can discuss with them. Some examples include colored lenses for glasses and text enlargers for the computer. Regarding lifestyle changes, many glaucoma patients find reducing carpets and maintaining a clean home with the same furniture arrangements is helpful for navigating. In unfamiliar places, a guide or cane can be helpful.

Life can be fulfilling after being diagnosed with glaucoma;Âthere just has to be a little bit of extra care involved. Embrace life and sight now!
