Senior’s Vision
As you age, you should prepare for vision change that may include cataracts.
It is important that you visit your doctor for regular eye exams to become
familiar with the health of your eye and be able to recognize any potentially
serious vision problems. Maintaining regular eye exams can significantly improve
your chances of good eye health even as you age.
As you enter your 60s, you will find that some age related changes to
your vision are normal. Changes in structure include: reduced pupil
size, dry eyes, loss of peripheral vision, decreased color vision,
viterious detachment. Cataracts are associated with aging, and while are
common among seniors, are easily corrected with surgery. Some changes
are serious and can result in the deterioration of vision quality.
Included among these serious changes are glaucoma, and diabetic
retinopathy.

be sure to mention any history of eye disorders in your family. Ensure
