Understanding the Silent Thief: Exploring the Complexity of Glaucoma
On January 31, 2024, Wyomissing Optometric Center proudly announced a significant contribution to the ongoing effort of spreading awareness about glaucoma. Dr. Glenn S. Corbin, renowned for his expertise in optometry, delivered a comprehensive lecture on glaucoma to the Family Practice Residents at Penn State Health St. Joseph Medical Center.

However, with proper knowledge and timely intervention, its progression can be managed and sight preserved.
