Glaucoma EyeQ: Are you at risk?

Glaucoma is a slowly progressing eye disease where the ability to see surroundings (peripheral vision) can be lost irreversibly. The loss of sight is gradual, and a considerable amount of vision may be lost before there is an awareness of any problem.

While anyone is at risk of developing glaucoma, some people are at a higher risk. Take our quiz to find out if you are at a higher risk of developing glaucoma.
