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.
