Glaucoma is a leading cause of vision loss worldwide, often progressing silently until significant damage has occurred. At West Linn Vision Center in West Linn, we emphasize the importance of prevention and early detection, especially during Glaucoma Awareness Month.
Our Eye Health Wellness Assessment provides a detailed view of your eye health, enabling our eye doctors to detect glaucoma before symptoms arise. Protecting your sight starts here.
What Makes Glaucoma So Dangerous?
Glaucoma doesn’t wait for you to notice it. Its early stages are often symptom-free, earning it the nickname "silent thief of sight." Left untreated, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss.
Here’s why it’s critical to take prompt action:
- Progressive Damage: Glaucoma causes gradual deterioration of the optic nerve.
- No Early Warning Signs: Vision loss begins without noticeable symptoms.
- Irreversible Effects: Once vision is lost, it cannot be regained.
The best defense is proactive care, starting with advanced eye assessments.

- Are over 40 years old.
- Have a family history of glaucoma.
