Vision Changes: "middle-aged!"
For Adults over 40!
by Dr. Diana Monea (www.eyehealthcentres.ca)
Presbyopia: The eye's lens stiffens with age, so it is less able to focus when you view something up close.- Age-related macular degeneration: It is a major cause of visual impairment in older adults (>50 years) thus an annual eye exam.
