Glaucoma Prevention: EyeCare America offers free eye exams

Glaucoma is something that I’ve witnessed within my own family, and is my personal reminder to get regular eye exams. It’s also the leading cause of blindness among African Americans and also common amongst Latin Americans. One of the most frightening aspects is that often there are no warning signs making it imperative that everyone get regular eye exam to prevent blindness. January is Glaucoma Awareness Month, and while the month is nearly over, this information is beneficial year round.
