this episode, we continue our conversation with RUMC’s Optometrist, Dr. Joseph

Muscente. Last episode we discussed traumas and emergencies that can

affect our eyes. In this episode, we’ll discuss glaucoma and the

importance of having your eyes checked regularly to detect any issues early

on. Glaucoma is a very common eye disease affecting more than 70 million

people worldwide and it’s the leading cause of blindness, accounting for over

12% of blindness around the world.
