Regular eye check-ups in your 40s is key to preventing glaucoma vision loss, says ophthalmologist

Adults in their 40s must undergo regular eye check-ups to prevent vision loss from glaucoma, a chronic eye disease that can lead to vision loss and blindness, said an ophthalmologist at AIIMS, New Delhi.

Taking to social media platform X, Dr Tanuj Dada, Professor of Ophthalmology and Head of Glaucoma Services at RP Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, said that early detection of glaucoma, which often presents no symptoms, is crucial. If left undetected it can lead to vision loss and blindness.
