The Impacts Of Glaucoma

12 March, 2020 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

Unlike many diseases that affect the human eye, Glaucoma lacks symptoms and warning signs in its early stages. When left untreated, Glaucoma can cause irreversible blindness, which is currently one of the leading causes of blindness in Australia today.

It’s astounding to think that 2 in 100 Australians are unaware that they are experiencing serious optic nerve damage, resulting in loss of vision within a matter of years.

Hansen Optometrists believe that it is vital for over 50s to have their eyes tested for Glaucoma every year.

Hansen Optometrists use the absolute latest in retinal imaging technology, with experienced optometrists providing you with accurate, fast and sometimes sight-saving results.

It only takes 60 minutes of your time each year and you could save your vision. Book your appointment online today at www.hansenoptom.com.au, or call 02 6362 2222.
