September is Healthy Aging Month, a month set aside to focus on the importance of prioritizing our health and well-being as we age. The American Academy of Ophthalmology celebrates Healthy Aging Month by raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of age-related vision loss and the steps to help senior adults care for their sight.
As we age, our eyes change and become more prone to develop eye conditions that can cause your vision to diminish and may even lead to total vision loss. Routine eye exams are the best way to protect your vision, but it’s also important to know the warning signs of eye problems so you can receive treatment right away and prevent permanent vision loss.
