Getting older? How’s your vision?

As you age, some decline in your senses is expected. Eyesight is often one of the first senses affected by aging. It’s important to learn what’s normal for aging eyes, what may be a sign of disease, and how to compensate for changes. Even a slight deterioration of any of your senses can be scary. Not only can it interfere with your safety and your ability to understand your surroundings, but also it can have a huge impact on your overall comfort, independence and quality of life.

You can minimize the impact of age-related vision loss on daily life, boost eye health in general, and reduce disease risk by monitoring vision changes, identifying problems, creating an eye-friendly environment, and adjusting your lifestyle habits and dietary choices.
