Eye health is essential at any age, but after 40, vision changes become more noticeable. for seniors (65+), regular eye exams help detect common age-related eye diseases such as:

macular degeneration (amd): the leading cause of vision loss in older adults
glaucoma: a silent disease that can cause irreversible blindness
cataracts: clouding of the lens that affects vision clarity
diabetic retinopathy: a complication of diabetes that damages the retina
