As you get older, your vision may change.

Usually you can see these changes coming, but sometimes a serious eye problem like glaucoma can sneak up on you.

With glaucoma, your vision can get blurry around the edges, and slowly fade away.

If you don't get treatment for glaucoma, you could go blind.

But this doesn't have to happen to you.

Getting regular eye tests that check for glaucoma can spot problems before your vision changes.

A glaucoma test is easy and doesn't hurt.

Your doctor will examine your eyes, measure the pressure in each eye, and test your vision to find out if you have glaucoma.

If you catch glaucoma early and start treatment right away, you can help save your sight.

Taking time to get your eyes checked is worth it.

Good vision helps you stay independent and can keep you seeing, and doing, all the things you love.

Work with your doctor to set a schedule for getting your eyes checked.

Then see it through.

So pick up the phone, make an appointment, and keep your world in focus.
