As we age, changes in vision are common, but understanding what’s normal and what needs attention can make all the difference. 👀
Reading small print may get harder. Seeing clearly in low light may take more effort. Floaters, dry eyes, or sensitivity to light can come and go. Many of these changes are part of aging and can often be managed with simple adjustments like better lighting, eye drops, or updated glasses.
🔍 More serious conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration are not always noticeable at first. That’s why routine eye exams matter. Those yearly tests can help catch issues early, before they affect safety or independence.
Healthy habits play a role too. A balanced diet, regular movement, sun protection, good sleep, and avoiding smoking all support long-term eye health.
This Glaucoma Awareness Month is a reminder that paying attention to vision changes and keeping up with regular eye care helps protect how we see and how we live.
