The best thing about growing old is you’ve a large reservoir of memories to look back at. You appreciate life more, understand people better, and may find yourself in situation where you can do what you always wanted to do, but couldn’t do because you’d a family to raise to; of course, the family is very much there, but the kids have now grown-up and you’ve no offices to go to. But, sometimes aging also brings something undesirable, or as undesirable as an eye problem or eye disease.

These days, when offices are all about sitting in-front-of computers/laptops for hours, eye-problems are at all-time high. However, many eye problems and diseases can be prevented and corrected if you:

• See your family doctor to check for diseases that may lead to eye-problems, like Diabetes.
• Visit an ophthalmologist for a complete eye-exam. Remember, most of the eye problems and diseases can be corrected if found in early stage. This eye specialist will dilate or enlarge your pupils (with some drops); this is a great way to detect several eye problems that have no early signs.
• See an eye specialist at Max Eye Care immediately if you experience any sort of eye pain, blurred vision, loss of eye sight, etc.

Common Age-related Problems:

Presbyopia: It’s the loss of ability in a person to see close objects or small prints. More than often, reading glasses are the solution for Presbyopia.

Tearing: The problem is generally found in people who’re very sensitive to light, wind, and temperature changes. Protecting your eyes with a sunglass is a nice idea, but visiting an eye specialist is a better one.

Dry Eyes: The problem is in the tear glands. Dry eyes may cause discomfort; the doctor may suggest use of humidifier. In serious conditions, surgery may also be considered.

Floaters: Ever saw those tiny spots or specks floating across your field of vision? Well, those are floaters; they’re often normal, but they can also be indications of some eye problems, so the best way out is to see your eye doctor at the earliest.

There are various eye diseases and disorders which are seen in aging adults; Cataract, Glaucoma, Retinal Disorders, Corneal Diseases, Eyelid Problems, and Temporal Arteritis are amongst the major diseases and disorders. However, the point that you should keep in mind is, ‘Timely Treatment is Really Important, and Can Help Cure Many of Eye Problems and Diseases.’ So, make sure you visit eye specialists at Max Eye Care, at least once or twice in a year so as to ensure happy and healthy eyes for life.
