January is Glaucoma Awareness Month –

Most glaucoma cases occur in adults, but CHLDREN may also develop the eye disease. According to the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS), classification of glaucoma may be based on the age of onset. Congenital glaucoma is present at birth. Infantile glaucoma develops between the ages of 1-24 months and glaucoma with onset after age 3 years is called juvenile glaucoma. Primary congenital/primary infantile glaucoma occurs in the general population at a rate of approximately 1 in 10,000 births, according to the AAPOS.

Additionally, the symptoms for childhood glaucoma are different than for adults. The Glaucoma Research Foundation states that parents and caregivers should look for signs of congenital glaucoma that include excessive tearing, large eyes, cloudy corneas and hiding from bright light or squeezing of eyelids. Children with juvenile glaucoma may demonstrate or communicate they have vision loss, problems adjusting to the dark, head or eye pain, excessive blinking or squeezing of the eyelids, and consistently red eyes.

Glaucoma can develop in all ages and is commonly referred to as the “silent thief of sight” because its symptoms develop over time and are painless. The way to preventing vision loss from glaucoma is to learn about the disease, and to make sure everyone, adults and children, receive eye care to be diagnosed and treated early.
