Senior Ophthalmology: Taking Care of Your Eyes After 50

After 50, our vision naturally evolves. These changes are normal, but it's essential to understand them to manage them better and preserve your visual capital for as long as possible.

Visual Changes After 50

Presbyopia: Inevitable but Manageable

Presbyopia affects virtually everyone from the age of 45-50. The lens loses its flexibility, making it difficult to focus on nearby objects. Typical symptoms:

• Difficulty reading small print
• Need to hold books or phones further away to read
• Eye strain at the end of the day
• Headaches after prolonged reading

💡 Solution: Reading glasses tailored to your correction. Our reading glasses are available from +1.0 to +3.5 diopters.

AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration)

AMD affects the macula, the central area of the retina. It can lead to a progressive loss of central vision. Risk factors: smoking, UV exposure, diet poor in antioxidants.

Prevention: Wearing UV400 sunglasses, a diet rich in lutein (green vegetables), quitting smoking.

Cataracts

The lens gradually becomes opaque, causing blurred vision and light sensitivity. Cataracts are treated surgically with excellent results.

Good Habits to Adopt

• ✅ Ophthalmological consultation every 2 years after 50
• ✅ Wearing UV400 sunglasses all year round
• ✅ Protection against blue light from screens
• ✅ Diet rich in antioxidants (carrots, spinach, fatty fish)
• ✅ Adequate lighting for reading
