jaskra.org — “Open angle glaucoma, which is also known as chronic simple glaucoma, occurs in 80 percent of all people with it, yet it is an eye disease that can be cured if it is discovered early. There are generally no symptoms with glaucoma; so many people do not realize they have it until it is too late. This is unfortunate, because if treated early, vision can be saved and the disease cured.” View full resource at jaskra.org
