2014 World Glaucoma Week – Beat Invisible Glaucoma

If left untreated, most types of glaucoma progress without warning or obvious symptoms to the patient towards gradually worsening visual damage and may lead to blindness. Once incurred, visual damage is mostly irreversible, and this has led to glaucoma being described as the “silent blinding disease”.

Beijing United Family ophthalmologist, Dr. Wang Lan, recommends yearly eye check-ups for people over the age of 40. For more information about glaucoma and other eye diseases, please call 4008-919191 to make an appointment with one of our eye specialists or visit www.wgweek.net.
