Essilor Undesrtands age-related vision problems
Celebrate
National Sight Saving Month by learning more about age-related vision problems.
Essilor, the world’s leading ophthalmic optics company, shares common
age-related vision changes and tips on how to minimize the risks:
Blurred vision. Reading printed materials can become
less clear, in part because the lens in your eyes becomes less flexible as you
age. Objects can also appear hazy or out of focus at certain distances. When
this happens, take time to rest your eyes for a few seconds. It also helps to
exercise your eye muscles by regularly blinking.
Dry eyes. Aging also causes our bodies to produce
fewer tears. Some people experience a burning sensation, stinging or eye
discomfort related to dry eyes. Use artificial tears as needed throughout the
day for comfort or best consult your eye doctor for prescription dry eyes
medication.
Sensitivity to bright lights. When driving, you may notice additional
glare from other cars, street lights or sun reflecting off windshields. This is
because, as you age, the light entering your eyes tend to scatter rather than
be focused precisely on the retina. It is important to be more cautious when
driving and if possible, avoid driving at night.
Decreased color vision. While aging, normal colors can also
decline in sensitivity, causing things around you to become less bright and
contrast between different colors becomes less noticeable.
