Starting off the New Year is January’s
National Eye Care Month. National Eye Care Month raises awareness of healthy
vision by encouraging people to get their eyes check. According to
drdonnica.com, nearly three million people have glaucoma but fail to realize it

the optic nerve, causing permanent damage that leads to loss of vision if left
untreated. Symptoms of glaucoma include, loss of vision, severe eye pain,
blurred vision, reddening of the eye and more. For more information about
