Anyone can develop glaucoma. Some people are at higher risk than others. They include:
Over the age of 40
Abnormally high eye pressure
African, Scandinavian, Celtic or Russian ancestry
Diabetes
Nearsightedness
Regular, long-term use of steroids/cortisone
Previous eye injury
If you have any of these glaucoma risk factors, see your ophthalmologist or eye care professional regularly for glaucoma prevention and early diagnosis.
