It's possible to preserve your sight so that you retain as much good vision as possible. One of the best ways to do that is to have regular eye exams to monitor for potential changes.
Seniors Can Have Healthy Eyes
Society has us convinced that aging means an automatic loss of health, including vision. It is true that as you age, your eyes could become more susceptible to various conditions. But it's also possible to preserve your sight so that you retain as much good vision as possible. One of the best ways to do that is to have regular eye exams to monitor for potential changes. When you catch conditions early, they can be a lot easier to solve, or to at least halt from getting worse. At Lakeside Eye Associates in Huntersville, you can get a comprehensive optometry exam that can spot signs of issues.
What You Need To Do To Protect Yourself
Do not skip eye exams if possible. The reason you want to get these is not to make you worried, but to simply check how things are going for your eyes. If you're beginning to experience a little age-related vision loss, for example, the change could be so gradual that you don't really notice it -- but your test results would show it. And many other conditions don't even have noticeable symptoms when the conditions are forming; an eye exam can spot other signs, however, allowing you and your optometrist to take action.
Also, be sure you start wearing sunglasses that provide UV protection when outside. Eat a healthy diet, and try not to rub your eyes when you're tired. These are lifelong habits but take on particular importance as you get older.

The cornea is imperative to our vision. This thin, transparent dome covers the front of our eyes to protect them. It is also responsible for refracting the light that enters our eyes, focusing it onto the retina where it is transmitted to the brain, which then tells us what we can see. If there are problems with the cornea, it can significantly affect our vision. One corneal problem that is fairly common is known as keratoconus.
Fortunately, our professional eye care team has extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of keratoconus, meaning that we can offer you the help that you need to see clearly again.
Exactly what treatment you will be offered for keratoconus will depend on the severity of the condition. Some of the treatments that our team may recommend may include the following:
