Common Eye Problems After Age 40
As we get older, our eyes naturally change. After the age of 40, the risk of several eye conditions increases. Regular eye check-ups help detect these problems early and protect your vision.
• Presbyopia – The eye gradually loses its ability to focus on nearby objects, making reading difficult.
• Cataract – The natural lens becomes cloudy, causing blurred vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night.
• Glaucoma – Increased eye pressure can damage the optic nerve. It often has no early symptoms but can lead to permanent vision loss if untreated.
• Dry Eye Disease – Reduced tear production causes burning, irritation, watering, and blurred vision.
• Diabetic Retinopathy – High blood sugar can damage the retina, leading to blurred vision and, if untreated, vision loss.
• Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) – The central part of the retina (macula) is affected, making it difficult to read, drive, or recognize faces.
• Night Vision Difficulties – Aging eyes need more light, making it harder to see clearly in dim light or while driving at night.
