As Dr. Fish explains, “People who have macular degenera-
tion and glaucoma don’t notice any symptoms until irrepa-
rable vision loss has occurred. That’s why it’s so important
to be screened regularly, especially if there is a family his-
tory of glaucoma or macular degeneration.”
Eye exams protect more than your eyes – they
might just save your life
While Jane was unable to have LASIK surgery, her pseudo-
tumor cerebri diagnosis and ongoing management of the
condition have helped prevent damage to the optic nerve
and allowed Jane to maintain her vision.
She also believes her experience should be a wakeup call
to people who underestimate the value of an eye exam.
As Jane explains, “Because of my work and daily activities,
I believed my symptoms were normal with no cause for con-
cerns about my health. I appreciated the thoroughness of
the eye exam, because that is what led to my diagnosis. I’m
so grateful to Key-Whitman for putting this on my radar.”
