Question: My family members have glaucoma. Does that mean I should be more careful about eye screening too?
General Eye Health
Answer: Yes. Family history is an important risk factor for glaucoma. If parents or siblings have glaucoma, your own risk may be higher compared with the general population. Regular screening helps monitor eye pressure, optic nerve health, and early structural changes so treatment can begin as early as possible if needed.
