What if your sister has glaucoma can you get a free eye test?

If your sister has glaucoma, you may be at an increased risk of developing the condition yourself. This is because glaucoma is often hereditary, meaning it can run in families.

In the United States, many states offer free or low-cost eye exams for people who are at an increased risk of developing glaucoma. If you are not sure whether you qualify for a free eye exam, you can contact your local Department of Health or the Glaucoma Research Foundation.

It is important to get regular eye exams if you are at an increased risk of developing glaucoma, as early detection and treatment can help to preserve your vision.
