Here’s a secret: when you go for your free test, you can drag your grandparent along for a follow-up. Glaucoma treatment has come a long way—eyedrops, lasers, even surgery—but it requires regular checkups. Make it a team outing. You get your eyes checked, they get their eyes checked, and afterward you grab a coffee (or a Jell-O cup, if they’re that kind of grandparent). It’s like a mini adventure, minus the tickets and the overpriced popcorn.

Plus, think of the bragging rights. You can tell your friends, “Yeah, I got a free eye test because my grandpa has glaucoma. It’s a family thing.” It sounds dramatic, mysterious, and a little heroic. Like you’re part of a secret eye society. (The secret is that everyone over 60 should get tested, but shh.)
