How to Care For Your Eyes After 60

How to Care For Your Eyes After 60

It’s been a long time coming since I had the idea to write an article on the eyes. After all, vision changes and vision loss are one of the many problems we encounter as we get older.

Although we understand perfectly well that these issues are a natural part of ageing, it can be frustrating having to deal with vision loss. For example, not being able to read small text, like you once could.

Now at this stage. You may be thinking. “But Mike, you’re a Physiotherapist what do you know about the eyes?”

And well, yes, this is true! But I do know health and I do know exercise.. And, fortunately I also have a Sister, Lexie (who you have seen floating around in the More Life Health Facebook Community), who just so happens to be an Orthoptist.

So with our powers combined, we bring you this guide to caring for the eyes after 60.
