Glaucoma often goes unnoticed—even with well-managed treatment, the optic nerve can continue to be damaged without you realizing it. Regular checkups are therefore essential for detecting changes early and adjusting treatment as needed.

In the article, Dr. med. Bányai explains why diabetes increases glaucoma risk on multiple levels, which warning signs are frequently overlooked, and why regular check-ups are crucial to protect your vision in the long term.
