Another way to grow older with good vision is by learning about vision changes that occur as you age. By being well-informed, you can learn what problems may develop with your vision, how those problems can be detected and what steps you can take to save your sight. You may also find out that some things you have heard about vision simply aren’t true.
When you come in for your eye check-up, talk to Dr. Perich about your eyes and your vision. Read brochures available from Perich eye center, local hospital, library or health clinic.
By learning more about vision now, you’ll be better informed about the future changes you may experience in your eyesight. You’ll also learn more about the eye conditions and diseases that affect older people.

The following eye diseases, which are of particular concern to older persons, can lead to a major loss in vision if not detected early and treated properly.

Making sure you have eye exams at least every other year can help Dr. Perich detect these diseases in time to treat them.
