As we age, the eyes undergo physiological changes. After the age of 55, vision requires regular check-ups, proper care, and timely treatment. At VISION, you’ll find a team of highly qualified specialists, the most advanced medical technologies, and a personalized approach to every patient.
Changes that occur after age 55:
- Risk of cataracts – Aging is the main cause of cataract development. One in two people over the age of 65 is at risk.
- Progression of presbyopia – Near vision worsens due to the gradual loss of elasticity in the eye’s natural lens and its decreasing ability to focus.
- Risk of glaucoma – Age is a significant risk factor for the development of glaucoma.
- Risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) – A leading cause of central vision loss in older adults.
What’s important during this stage?
- Annual preventive exams – Comprehensive eye examinations are recommended once a year, including intraocular pressure measurement, retinal evaluation, and visual acuity testing.
- Healthy lifestyle – Regular physical activity, nutritious food, and avoiding harmful habits are essential for preserving eye health.
- Managing chronic conditions – Monitoring blood pressure and blood sugar levels is crucial to prevent eye damage.
Don’t delay your eye care – enjoy clear vision and a fulfilling life!
