Our eyes play an important role in maintaining an independent lifestyle and reducing the risk of falling. They help us avoid obstacles and hazards. That’s why it’s vital we make the most of our eyesight.
Many changes in vision will begin around the age of 40. These changes are gradual and may go unnoticed.
