January is Glaucoma Awareness Month, an essential time to shed light on this vision-threatening condition that disproportionately affects older adults. Glaucoma is known as the “silent thief of sight” because it often develops without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred.

For seniors, the support of in-home caregivers can be a vital part of managing this condition effectively.
