Glaucoma is missing the sunset. Glaucoma is missing the long drives. Glaucoma is missing one's livelihood. Glaucoma is a serious, lifelong eye disease that can lead to vision loss if not controlled. It is an eye disease that causes loss of sight by damaging a part of the eye called the optic nerve. This nerve sends information from your eyes to your brain. When glaucoma damages your optic nerve, you begin to lose patches of vision, usually side vision. Glaucoma is controllable with modern treatment, and there are many choices to help keep glaucoma from further damaging your eyes. But there's hope: with modern treatments, we can fend off further damage. Pledge to protect your vision TODAY. Ensure a comprehensive dilated eye exam every 1-2 years. Fight blindness. Love Your Eyes. 💖 #WorldGlaucomaWeek #Glaucoma #40YearsOfVision #CommunityImpact #PatientStory #CreateARipple #VisionForAll #PreventableBlindness #EyecareForAll #SightRestoration #CombatBlindnessInternational #GlobalHealth #EradicateBlindness #ChangeLives #GiftOfSight #MakeADifference #Empowerment #ChildhoodBlindness #AccessToEyeCare

They key to having strong bones that most people don't know about (share this with a friend) Bone building is a critical process that begins in childhood and continues through adolescence into early adulthood. This is the IDEAL TIME to achieve your peak bone mass (strong, dense bones). After the age 25 to 30 bone mass starts to gradually decline, so if you achieve peak bone mass by the age of 30 you can develop a "bone bank" that can help mitigate the effects of bone loss later in life. Join the Holistic Insiders Group for the full story on how to create strong bones at any age. Register today at https://lnkd.in/di_tpaAM #bonehealth #naturalhealth #osteoporosis
