What's happening
With age, you might have trouble focusing on objects that are close up. You might become more sensitive to glare and have trouble adjusting to different levels of light. Aging also can affect the eye's lens and lead to a clouding of the lens called a cataract.
What you can do
To help maintain eye health:
- Schedule regular checkups. Follow your healthcare professional's advice about glasses, contact lenses and other corrective devices.
- Take safety measures. Wear sunglasses or a wide-brimmed hat when you're outdoors.
