Take action to prevent vision loss

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can cause permanent vision loss and blindness. Some forms of glaucoma don’t have any symptoms, so you may have glaucoma even if you don’t have any trouble seeing or feel any pain. If you find and get treatment for glaucoma early, you can protect your eyes from serious vision loss. Medicare will cover a glaucoma test once every 12 months if you’re at high risk. How do you know if you’re at risk? Watch this short video to learn the risk factors, and talk to your doctor or eye doctor for more information about scheduling a test.

Sincerely, The Medicare Team
