Senior Eye Exams

Why Senior Eye Exams Are Vital

Your eyes may slowly degrade over time. Unfortunately, even with proper treatments and regular trips to the eye doctor, you may still suffer vision loss. That said, by working with an optometrist, you can help prevent and treat vision loss. Contact Total Eyecare in Elko to schedule an eye exam for your elderly family members.

Eye exams are particularly important for the elderly. Even if you did not need to wear contacts or glasses when you were younger, there are several natural changes that can occur which may make wearing glasses necessary. It is especially important for the elderly to have regular comprehensive eye exams due to the higher risk of age-related eye disease.

Eye Exams are Essential

The changes to our vision often occur slowly, and we may not recognize how significant our vision has changed until visiting with an eye doctor. In order to maintain safe driving vision, it is important to have an eye health exam at least once per year.  

Other Considerations

Falls are common injuries among the elderly. Without proper vision, navigating around your home can be difficult. Time spent in the yard, perhaps gardening or enjoying the nice weather, can also become more dangerous. The right pair of glasses and proper eye care can protect your family members by reducing the risk of injuries.
