January is Glaucoma Awareness Month! Glaucoma has no early symptoms and the only way to check for it is to get a comprehensive dilated eye exam. There’s no cure for glaucoma, but starting treatment as early as possible can help stop vision loss. Anyone can get glaucoma, but some people are at higher risk.

Attention Social Security beneficiaries: Don’t Let Scammers Deceive You! Annual Social Security cost-of-living adjustments are ALWAYS automatic, and beneficiaries do not need to take any action or provide additional information to receive the increase. The Social Security Administration Office of the Inspector General recently sent out a scam alert to remind the public to be wary of any communication that asks beneficiaries to take extra steps or provide personal details for the increase. Be careful and protect your financial assets! #Scam #Scammers #SocialSecurityAdministration
