Age-Related Vision Problems

Posted by Praveen (#2) 4021 days ago (Editorial)
Age-related vision changes happen to many people as they grow older. But eye problems aren't something you should simply write off as normal. Some result from new or worsening vision disorders. As age advances, these might quietly creep up on you, stealing a piece of your vision at a time. Others attack suddenly, quickly causing blindness. That is why regular eye exams with an eye doctor are so important at this stage of your life. You can take steps to lower your risk of age-related vision disorders. If you have one, you can slow their progression. See a doctor who specializes in any disease or disorder you have. Eyeglasses, contact lenses, medication, and surgery can't completely correct these age-related vision changes. But rehabilitation and special low-vision aids can help you make the most use of your remaining sight. To see more details visit, www.webmd.com
