PRIORITIZING YOUR EYE HEALTH AS YOU AGE
As we age, our risk of developing eye diseases increases significantly. In fact, one in six Americans aged 65 and older has a vision impairment that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. Conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma are more prevalent in older adults and can lead to significant vision loss if not properly managed.

For some women, fluctuations in hormones due to pregnancy, perimenopause or menopause can bring on such changes.
