Aging can affect many parts of your body, especially your eyes. While aging can cause vision problems, these issues can be prevented or managed. At Chapel Hills Vision Clinic in Colorado Springs, CO, our experts can help with vision problems connected to aging. It's important to get regular eye exams to prevent eye problems and preserve your vision.

Preventing Vision Problems 

There are many changes in your body as you age, and your eyes and vision also change. Often times, people who never needed glasses need corrective lenses as they get older. There are other conditions, like glaucoma, that patients are more at risk for as they age. Our optometrists can look for vision and eye problems that you may be more prone to as you age. Vision problems can develop gradually and a patient may not notice a problem developing, so visiting our eye doctor is vital.

Early Detection

If you do develop an eye condition or vision problem, early detection can be critical. Our optometrist can diagnose eye problems during an annual eye exam. Common conditions include cataracts, temporal arteritis, glaucoma, dry eyes, presbyopia, and age-related macular degeneration. Catching these conditions early means that you will have the best treatment options to preserve your eyesight and maintain your vision and eye health in the future. We can also make sure that your prescription is up to date, or provide you with corrective eyewear if your vision is deteriorating.
