Glaucoma is the 2nd leading cause of blindness worldwide. At first,
glaucoma doesn't usually have any symptoms. That's why half of people with
glaucoma don't even know they have it.

Anyone can get glaucoma, but some people are at higher risk. If one or more
of the following is true,* you may be at high risk for developing glaucoma:*

   -

   You have diabetes.
   -

   You have a family history of glaucoma.
   -

   You're African American and 50 or older.
   -

   You're Hispanic and 65 or older.

The only way to find out if you have glaucoma is to get a glaucoma
screening. Talk with your doctor to make sure you're up to date on
screenings. *Medicare covers a glaucoma screening
