It’s a sight-stealing disease that you may not know you have.

January is National Glaucoma Awareness month and Dr. Jason Maasdam with Eye Health Solutions in Knoxville is encouraging people to get regular eye exams. He says it’s important to catch glaucoma early so that treatment can begin immediately.
According to the Glaucoma Research Foundation website, 2.7 million people over the age of 40 have glaucoma in the United States.
