An ophthalmologist or optometrist on our team are prepared to help care for your eyes. Healthy aging is on the mind of more and more people now with the last Baby Boomers approaching retirement age and the oldest members of Generation X not far behind. Your eyes are going to change as you get older and that’s just part of life. Between your mid-30s and mid-40s, your eyes are largely stable, but many changes to your eyes start to happen as you move toward old age. We at Eye Doctors of Arizona in Phoenix, AZ, including Shea Park, AZ, are here to help.
Presbyopia
Presbyopia, difficulty with vision up-close due to age-related stiffening of the lens, affects many people as they enter their golden years. An annual eye exam between age 40 and 50 can see your presbyopia as it starts and make sure that you are able to read and do other major activities like driving that require the ability to read close to you without sacrificing comfort.
Glaucoma and Cataracts
These two eye problems can rob you of vision. Worse, they can give you little that they’re starting to build unless you’re keeping on top of your annual eye exams. If we find that you have a glaucoma or cataract problem, our eye surgeon team can help you put your vision on the road to recovery with multiple options to recover, including laser surgery, that can help you get your vision back to full wellness, quickly. Making sure that your eyes can see clearly is our top priority at Eye Doctors of Arizona, and we take our work seriously.
Nutrition
You might not think of nutrition as a primary part of eye care, but if you have bad blood pressure or are pre-diabetic, your sight can be in danger, and you might not know of it. It’s always important to make sure that your weight is under control, but high blood pressure can also be a precursor to a glaucoma in one or both eyes. Come in and our specialists can help you see where your nutritional health can improve your eye health as well.
