As we grow older, changes occur with our eyes that can affect our vision. Our eyes may become more sensitive to glare, slower to adjust to light, and distance may become more difficult to judge. Older adults can also develop eye disorders such as cataracts, glaucoma, or macular degeneration. These disorders can gradually lead to changes in peripheral vision and depth perception.

Because your vision is so important to daily living, it’s essential that you recognize and respond to changes as soon as possible. Even small changes to vision can increase the risk of someone falling.
