Vision changes are common with age, and conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration become more likely.

Regular eye exams help detect problems early. Good lighting, updated glasses, and sunglasses with UV protection support eye health and safety.

Pin Tip

Schedule eye exams as often as your eye doctor recommends.

Talk With Your Doctor

This pin shares general information, not medical advice. Everyone ages differently, so bring questions to your doctor and review medications and health goals at least once a year.

Local Help in Ohio

Ohio’s Area Agencies on Aging connect older adults and caregivers with services such as meals, in home help, transportation, and benefits counseling. Call 911 for emergencies, including sudden face drooping, arm weakness, or speech trouble.

Quick Reminder

Keep an updated list of medications, doctors, and emergency contacts on your refrigerator for family and first responders.
