Aging and Your Eyes
Are you holding the newspaper farther away from your eyes than you used
to? Join the crowd -- age can bring changes that affect your eyesight.
Some changes are more serious than others, but no matter what the
problem, there are things you can do to protect your vision. The key is
to have regular eye exams so you can find problems early.
