Optometrist points out importance of eye examinations for aging eyes.

In the Ask an Optometrist column in Canada’s Midland Free Press (9/17), Lillian Linton, O.D. pointed out that “common eye conditions affecting” aging “baby boomers can include glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration.” She reminded readers that the “only definitive way to diagnose your condition is to visit your optometrist to be tested.” Optometrists “use a number of techniques to assess any potential vision or eye health problems, and will keep a file of that information in order to keep track of changes in” future “eye health or vision.”
