Nothing threatens your vision in more ways than age. Changes to your vision creep up as you age and suddenly these changes in eyesight rob you of your independence, when valued the most. Yet, according to the National Eye Institute (NEI), careful monitoring of your eye health and regular eye exams from an eye doctor in your area can help have good vision well into old age.
A scientific doctor with the National Institutes of Health says that America will spend between $20 and $22 million dollars on eye problems and that one American becomes blind or has severe vision loss every 11 minutes. Being aware of common age-related eye problems and knowing the warning signs of eye health concerns associated with age can curb the debilitating effects of eye problems.
