Are You Over the Age of 50?

While there are many eye problems that can affect people of all ages, there are several that are more common among people as they age. They include:

• Cataracts
• Glaucoma
• Macular degeneration
• Diabetic retinopathy
• Corneal diseases
• Eyelid problems
• Presbyopia
• Dry Eyes
• Floaters

It is most important that you have your eyes examined at least once a year to determine if your eyes are at risk for developing an eye disease associate with aging. The leading causes of lost vision and blindness in the US are primarily age related eye diseases.

Fortunately, today there are many advances in technology allowing surgeons like Dr. Patel to improve vision and thus improve the quality of life for aging adults.
