With age, you might have difficulty focusing on objects up close. You may become more sensitive to glare and have trouble adapting to different levels of light. Let’s look at some of the more common eye problems related to aging:
October is observed every year as Blindness Awareness Month, which focuses on understanding and supporting the problems faced by blind people. According to the World Health Organization, about 2.2 billion people worldwide suffer from visual impairment or blindness.
Cataracts are the leading cause of visual impairment in the world today. Aging is the most common cause. A cataract is a progressive, painless clouding of the lens inside the eye. Cataracts block light, making it difficult to see clearly. Over an extended period of time, cataracts can cause blindness. They are often related to growing older, but sometimes they can develop in younger people.
Antioxidants key to lowering risk of age-related cataracts A $5.7 billion global medical bill to restore sight for the estimated 45 million people with cataracts could be slashed in half by a diet rich in colorful fruits and vegetables, according to an international study.
