👁️💚 Glaucoma Awareness Month | January
At UTMB Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences, we’re committed to protecting vision through early detection, advanced care, and education. Glaucoma—often called the “silent thief of sight”—has no early symptoms, making routine eye exams essential.

🩺 When detected early, glaucoma can often be managed to help preserve vision. Our team offers comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment using the latest technology.

This January, take a proactive step for your eye health and schedule a comprehensive eye exam. Early detection makes all the difference. ✨
