All About Accessibility: Glaucoma Awareness Month

January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month, a time to spread the word about this sight-stealing disease and the importance of regular eye examinations to preserve vision. According to the Glaucoma Research Foundation, more than three million Americans have glaucoma, and experts estimate that half of them do not know they have it.
