Since glaucoma, the silent thief of sight, is not curable yet, early detection is the only way to prevent irreversible blindness in children and adults.

Today, as aging populations worldwide are growing at a staggering rate, limited numbers of eyecare professionals are not sufficient to conduct early detection of glaucoma on a mass scale. 

Primary, Family and General Physicians being on the forefront of an overall health evaluation have an ability today to help the cause and conduct quick glaucoma screenings in an office setting as step one and refer patients determined to be at risk for a further, more comprehensive evaluation with an eye care professional.

In a study published by the British Journal of Ophthalmology, the number of people with glaucoma worldwide is expected to be 79.6 million by 2020 and 111.8 million by 2040.
