Reading Glasses for Senior Citizens

Reading glasses for senior citizens, the elderly, vision impaired and baby boomers. Low vision means that even with regular glasses, contact lenses, medicine, or surgery, people find everyday tasks difficult to do. Reading the mail, shopping, cooking, seeing the TV, and writing can seem challenging.

Most people develop low vision because of eye diseases and health conditions like macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetes. Your eye care professional can tell the difference between normal changes in the aging eye and those caused by eye diseases.

There are many signs that can signal vision loss. For example, even with your regular glasses, do you have difficulty:

• recognizing faces of friends and relatives?
• doing things that require you to see well up close, such as reading, cooking,
• sewing, fixing things around the house, or picking out and matching the color of your clothes?
• doing things at work or home because lights seem dimmer than they used to?
• reading street and bus signs or the names of stores?
