"Telling my kids
that glaucoma can run in the family helped them - and me."
Send an Email - Tell your loved ones their sight is important...to you.
Chances are your loved ones are concerned about the condition of your eyes. But if they're genetically related to you, it's very important for them to be concerned about their own. The risk that members of your immediate family will get glaucoma is four to nine times greater than the general population.
To notify your children, siblings, and other close relatives about the importance of getting screened for high intraocular pressure and glaucoma, send them an e-mail. Just fill in the information below and we'll do the rest.

Dear [Recipient Name],
I was just on a web site about glaucoma and saw an opportunity to send you this note.
Since being diagnosed with glaucoma, I'm constantly reminded how important healthy vision is. And because I care, I'm concerned for you, too. That's because, as a family member of someone with glaucoma, your risk is four to nine times greater than the general population's.
So, please, do this right away for me ... for yourself:
1. Get a comprehensive eye exam from your eye care professional
2. Learn more about glaucoma and heredity at www.openingsprogram.com

Don't wait! By the time you notice any change to your vision, the loss is permanent. Detecting it early and treating it effectively are so very important.
