Senior eye health is essential for maintaining independence and quality of life. As we age, the risk of eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy increases. Regular eye exams can detect these issues early, improving the chances of effective treatment. Seniors may also experience changes in vision clarity, color perception, and tear production. Protecting eye health includes managing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension, wearing sunglasses to block UV rays, eating a nutrient-rich diet, and avoiding smoking. Staying proactive with eye care helps seniors preserve their vision and continue enjoying daily activities safely and confidently.
