Experts Highlight Importance of Early Detection and Lifestyle in Glaucoma Management

Glaucoma, a leading cause of permanent vision loss affecting millions globally, often develops silently without early symptoms, especially in young adults. Experts emphasize the importance of regular screenings, medication adherence, and healthy lifestyle habits—such as managing stress, avoiding smoking, and maintaining physical activity—to stabilize eye pressure and protect vision. Early detection through specialized tests is crucial, as damage typically begins with peripheral vision loss before noticeable symptoms appear, underscoring the need for awareness across all age groups.
