Houston, January 6, 2012 --- Recognizing January as National Glaucoma Awareness Month, Blausen Medical Communications, developer and owner of the world's largest library of 3D medical animations, is featuring two glaucoma-related animations on its Blausen Group Facebook page during the month. The two animations, Glaucoma and Glaucoma Drugs, are derived from the Blausen library. They explain the general anatomy of the eye, how glaucoma occurs, and what medication may be used to treat this condition.

National Glaucoma Awareness Month is supported directly by the Glaucoma Research Foundation, a national non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for glaucoma. Founded in 1978 in San Francisco, the Foundation funds glaucoma research world-wide. Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness. It is estimated that over 2.2 million Americans have glaucoma, but only half of those know they have it.

Commenting on National Glaucoma Awareness Month and the month-long addition of related animations to the Blausen Group Facebook page, Bruce Blausen, Founder and CEO of Houston-based Blausen, said, "Glaucoma is a stealthy disease that may exhibit no symptoms to warn someone who has it, or is developing it. While there is no cure for it and vision lost cannot be regained, with medication and/or surgery, it is possible to halt further loss of vision. That's why awareness and regular eye examinations are so necessary. We believe we are doing our small part to further the awareness part of that by featuring our glaucoma animations on our Facebook page."
