How Can I Safeguard My Vision as I Get Older?

As we age, our vision inevitably changes. But does that mean we should just sit back and allow time to take its toll? Not! At Six One Six Vision Center, we believe in proactive eyecare to keep your eyes in the best shape possible, regardless of age. Our blog post will explore effective ways to keep those peepers functioning well into your golden years.

Our Eyes Change

Our bodies undergo numerous changes as we age, and our eyes are no exception. From presbyopia to age-related macular degeneration, the transitioning years can introduce many vision challenges. Understanding these changes is the first step in proactive eye care.

Importance of Regular Eye Exams

Next on our list is the golden rule of vision protection — regular eye exams. Many people don’t realize their vision has deteriorated until too late.

Scheduling frequent eye exams becomes even more important as you age. During these exams, professionals at Six One Six Vision Center can identify any issues early and address them promptly, helping you maintain optimal eye health.

Protect Your Vision

Proper eyewear isn’t just about enhancing your vision; it’s also about protecting your eyes. Sunglasses shield your eyes from harmful UV rays, while the right prescription can keep your vision sharp and comfortable.

Eyeglasses and contact lenses offer convenience and can also provide necessary correction. Rest assured, at Six One Six Vision Center, we offer a comprehensive range of eyewear to cater to your needs.

Lifestyle Changes for Better Vision Health

Besides regular exams and suitable eyewear, you can make lifestyle changes to keep your vision sharp. Have a diet rich in vitamins A, C and E, essential for eye health. Regular exercise can also improve blood circulation, benefiting your eyes. Remember, proactive care is a holistic endeavor.

COVID-19

To our Six One Six Vision Center Families,

Our office is fully open to serve your eye care needs. We cannot wait to see you in our office again! With the health and safety of our team and patients at the forefront of our minds, the following changes have taken place while we all do our part to fight this pandemic:

We ask that if you are experiencing a fever, shortness of breathe, or a cough that you reschedule your visit at this time.

We are asking our patients to complete as much of the typical intake paperwork and collecting of insurance information electronically to reduce the amount of team members they need to be exposed to at the office.

We have very strict cleanliness procedures for anyone who comes in to our office at every point of their visit to lower risk of potential infection.

Now more than ever, we need to take care of ourselves, our families, and our communities as best we can, while practicing safe social distancing recommendations. We will get through these difficult times together, and I promise you our office and our team will be here to support you as best we can during these changes, and will be even stronger once we can return to normal care.

Be well, stay strong, take care of each other.
