We depend on our eyes for nearly every aspect of daily life, yet increasing age can result in changes to our eye health and vision. In fact, visual impairment is the most common sensory problem of older adults. Changes in the eye physiology can cause visual problems like near focusing (presbyopia) to more serious conditions such as floaters, cataracts, dry eye, and macular degeneration.
If we have good vision we may think there are no underlying problems. “This is a faulty assumption,” cautions Dr. Neda Moshasha, optometrist and founder of the HMB Optometry Family Eye Care in Half Moon Bay, California.
“Good vision doesn’t always equate to good eye health. ”
Join our Wellness Wednesday webinar, “Maintaining Healthy Eyes as You Age,” on August 26th, 11-11:45 am PT. You will learn how to keep your eyes healthy and reduce the risk of age-related vision problems and eye diseases through medical and alternative methods.
