Although the risk of eye diseases rises with age, regular eye exams and recommended management/treatments can help prevent vision loss. Five common eye conditions associated with aging include: 1) Cataracts causing clouding of the eye lens and blurred vision. 2) Diabetic Retinopathy causing damage to the retina caused by high or variable blood sugar levels, blurred or fluctuating vision, and blind spots. 3) Age-related Vision Loss – blind or blurry spots in vision, reduced ability to see colours. 5) Peripheral vision loss – blurred vision, eye pain, loss of peripheral vision. 6) Dry Eye Syndrome – tearing, sensitive, painful eyes.
