Baby Boomers are one of the largest population segments in the United States. Healthcare is a primary concern but too often eye health is overlooked. A comprehensive eye exam can help identify underlying health concerns and also determine if a person has macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss in people over the age of 65.

Protecting your eyes from UV exposure may help reduce the chances of developing macular degeneration and other vision conditions. In addition to wearing a wide- brimmed hat and UV protecting clothing, I recommend my patients consider Transitions lenses, which automatically darken and block 100% of harmful UV rays. 

Remember even if you are seeing well, you want to get regular eye exams for the entire family.

Stay Tuned and Be Well
