The eyes are crucial for perception of the world around us and for communication with others. Through our eyes we are able to detect colours, light and the shapes of objects, but also to pick up facial expressions and the movements of people around us.
Taking care of your eyes is important to preserve your eyesight for a long time and to live a healthier and more active life.
È Dedicated to glaucoma the first of seven episodes of 'Listen and You Will See, the L'Oculista Italiano podcast designed to promote and support visual wellbeing, to learn about and protect our eyes.
Podcast No. 1: Glaucoma
Referred to as the 'thief of sight', glaucoma presents itself with inconspicuous symptoms: somewhat blurred vision, some eye pain, glinting, but above all with the reduction of the visual field and lateral vision.
Like other eye diseases, glaucoma has common symptoms that should not be underestimated because they can be prevented, controlled and treated.
As glaucoma causes damage to the optic nerve, it can lead to serious consequences, but there are many things that can be done.
