Problems with Eyes Caused by Aging

1. Blurry vision: Visions can become blurry for a number of different reasons, but this symptom is often the first sign of a few more serious problems. If you can't see, make an appointment to come by the office. We can give you an eye exam and help you to determine what is causing your vision problems.

2. Pain around the eyes: Pain can indicate something simple like eye strain, or it can indicate an issue with the optic nerve. An eye doctor will be able to check your eyes for damage. Don't worry, this is typically done with a special machine, and all the patient feels is a puff of air.

3. Tunnel vision: Narrowing of the visual field can be an indication of problems with the optic nerve or other parts of eye. An eye exam will be able to tell if the problem can be corrected.

Fortunately, correction of these problems is much easier if the issue is detected early on. The earlier a problem is detected, the more likely it is that it will be able to be treated with less invasive treatments. Problems that have devolved past this point may require surgery or may irreparable.
