Helping Seniors Protect Their Sight

Healthy Aging Month Vision Quest Medical Center
The risk of many eye conditions, such as glaucoma and cataracts, increases drastically as we age. One in six American’s over the age of 65 have a vision impairment that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses, yet the majority of older adults don't visit an ophthalmologist. 

If left untreated these conditions can cause permanent damage to the eye. In many cases, the formation of these conditions is a natural, yet avoidable, process as the body ages.  If you or a loved one is advancing in age, be aware of the following symptoms, as they may be indicative of a larger developing condition.
  • Blurry Vision
  • Headaches
  • Halos Around Lights
  • Fading Colors
  • Distorted Vision
  • Decreased Peripheral Vision
  • Black Spots in Vision
