How Your Vision May Change As You Age

Last updated 5 days ago

In the years after your 40th birthday, your vision is likely to change. It’s important to continue to see your optometrist regularly for eye exams. Even if you don’t notice your eyesight changing, your optometrist will screen you for age-related eye conditions. Here’s a look at some of the ways in which vision can change with age:

Dry Eyes

As you age, your tear glands slow down their activity. If you’re a woman who is post-menopausal, you’re at a higher risk of decreased tear production. The reduced production in tears can cause your eyes to feel irritated and uncomfortable. Your optometrist might recommend using eye drops to rewet your eyes throughout the day and keep them healthy.

Glare Issues

Glare can become an issue as you age because the light beams entering your eye are less likely to focus as well on the retina. It’s more common to have problems driving at night as an older adult because of the glare of the headlights from opposing traffic. You might also experience difficulty with glare on sunny days. Your optometrist might recommend driving with dark wraparound sunglasses during the day.

Reading Problems

As you age, the lenses in your eyes begin to lose their flexibility. This means you could have trouble focusing on objects that are closer to your eyes. For example, you might have difficulty reading or using a computer. Talk to your optometrist about using new glasses with bifocal or multifocal lenses.

Eye Conditions

Many different eye conditions affect older adults, including age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, and glaucoma. Remember to update your medical information during each visit to your optometrist. Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, can affect the health of your eyes. Let your optometrist know if you have a family history of any eye disorders and undergo regular screenings for them.

Tips to Help You Care for Your Contact Lenses

By caring for your contact lenses as directed by your optician, you can keep your eyes healthy and your lenses germ-free. Always wash your hands thoroughly before handling your lenses, and never handle them in the bathroom. Use a solution recommended by your optician to disinfect and hydrate your lenses. Also remember to keep your contact lens case clean, and to change it at least every month.

Learn how to perform a comprehensive cleaning routine for your contact lenses by watching this video. Dr. Stephen Rozenberg, OD, of 10/10 Optics explains how to clean your lenses and how to handle them without touching the insides of the lenses.
