Did You Know? That Trauma To The Eye Can Lead to Glaucoma! ????? Trauma to the eye—whether from accidents, sports injuries, or blunt force—can cause Traumatic Glaucoma, a condition that may develop immediately or years after the injury. ?? How does trauma cause glaucoma? Eye injuries can lead to increased eye pressure (IOP), internal bleeding, or damage to drainage structures, all of which can gradually harm the optic nerve, leading to vision loss. ?? What can you do? ? Always wear protective eyewear during high-risk activities. ? Seek medical attention after any eye injury, even if vision seems fine. ? Get regular eye check-ups—glaucoma can develop silently over time. At Perfect Vision Doctors Network (PVDN), we are committed to raising awareness and offering free eye screenings to detect and prevent glaucoma-related vision loss. Your eyes deserve protection—take action today! ???? #GlaucomaAwareness #TraumaAndVision #ProtectYourEyes #PVDN #PreventBlindness

Glaucoma Myths vs. Truth—Protect Your Vision! ?? Myth: If I don’t have symptoms, I don’t have glaucoma. ? Truth: Glaucoma often develops without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss occurs. The only way to detect it early is through routine eye screenings. ?? Myth: Glaucoma can be cured with medication or surgery. ? Truth: Glaucoma has no cure, but treatments like eye drops, laser therapy, or surgery can slow or stop its progression if detected early. At Perfect Vision Doctors Network (PVDN), we are dedicated to free eye screenings and education to help prevent avoidable blindness. Don't wait—schedule an eye exam today! #GlaucomaAwareness #EyeHealthMatters #PVDN #ProtectYourVision #MythVsTruth

?? #Ending #Preventable #Blindness: #A #Call #to #Action #for #Glaucoma #Awareness #in #Africa & #Beyond #Glaucoma #is #the #silent #thief #of #sight, and yet millions of people in Africa and developing countries remain undiagnosed until it’s too late. Did you know? Glaucoma is the second leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide, and #without #early #detection and #treatment, it can lead to #irreversible #vision #loss. The Challenge: ?? Many people with glaucoma have no symptoms in the early stages. ?? Limited access to eye care services makes diagnosis difficult in underserved regions. ?? Cost of treatment and lack of health insurance coverage hinder proper disease management. ?? Fear of surgery and myths prevent timely intervention. The Solution: ? Regular eye check-ups—especially for those over 40 years old, those with family history, and individuals with high myopia or diabetes. ? Affordable glaucoma medications & expanded insurance coverage to reduce financial burdens. ? Public education campaigns to dispel myths and encourage early screening. ? Training more eyecare professionals/glaucoma specialists & improving access to laser and surgical treatments. ? Government and international support to make eye health a public health priority. #We #Can #End #Glaucoma #Blindness! The future of eye health in Africa depends on awareness, accessibility, and advocacy. Let’s unite to empower communities, support patients, and demand better policies to ensure NO ONE loses their sight due to lack of care. #Tagging #all #international #eye #organizations & #advocates #to #push #for #a #Glaucoma-#Free #World!

Debunking myths... Protect Your Sight: Know the Risks of Glaucoma! Myth: “Glaucoma only affects the elderly.” Truth: While glaucoma is more common in older adults, it can affect anyone—even young people and children. Certain risk factors like family history, high eye pressure, and underlying health conditions can increase the risk at any age. The best defense? Regular eye check-ups! Glaucoma causes irreversible blindness, but early detection can slow or stop vision loss. Don’t wait for symptoms—get screened today! #PVDN #GlaucomaWeek #Optometry #EyeScreening #WorldCouncilofGlaucoma #WorldCouncilofBlindness
