Final Thoughts
Protecting your vision as you age can help you preserve quality of life and overall health. That’s why it is important to know what kind of ocular diseases could affect you as you age, what the cost of care could be, and how to lower your risk for problems like cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Remember to schedule routine appointments with an optometrist or ophthalmologist, eat foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals, and protect your eyes from the sun and other injuries with protective eyewear. Do that, and you’ll have excellent vision for years.
