HEALTHY AGING MONTH

September is Healthy Aging Month!
As people age, they’re at a greater risk for many eye diseases and conditions including age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Early detection and treatment by an eye doctor is critical to prevent vision loss.

Make sure your patients are taking care of their eyes as they get older and continue to see you for regular eye exams. And if they do experience vision loss, remember that Eschenbach has a variety of low vision aids you can offer that can help them accomplish their activities of daily living such as reading and writing, thereby improving their quality of life and allowing them to remain independent.

Learn more about Healthy Aging Month and find educational materials relating to vision and aging on the National Eye Institute website.
