In March, OCLI held a free “Glaucoma Screening” event for members of the community and staff of the Sterling Glen of
Roslyn, an Atria Senior Living Group community.
Dr. Broderick of OCLI screened 41 people at the Sterling Glen ranging in ages from 21 to 96. March 12 marked the second-annual World Glaucoma Day, a global initiative aimed at raising awareness of glaucoma, the second leading cause of blindness in the United States and worldwide.
Did you know a risk factor of glaucoma is heredity?
If you have glaucoma, make sure your family members have been seen by an OCLI eye doctor in the last year for a dilated eye exam.
