It helps us navigate everyday life, from the moment we wake up to the time we go to sleep \u2013 and yet, how often do we really stop to think about the biological processes involved, or even the possibility that our eyes might fail us? For many aging adults, the concern of failing eyesight is quite real.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends that all adults, 65 years of age and older, receive annual eye examinations.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6417 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2026\/10\/CAL-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2026\/10\/CAL-2.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2026\/10\/CAL-2-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2026\/10\/CAL-2-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2026\/10\/CAL-2-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>Past the age of 60, a number of eye diseases can begin to develop, a majority of which have the potential to permanently damage one\u2019s vision. What\u2019s more, the symptoms associated with these diseases often do not manifest until later in the development cycle. So, while one\u2019s vision may seem completely normal, there may be problems brewing. Here are the four eye diseases seniors should be aware of:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Glaucoma<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Technically a group of eye diseases, glaucoma is the result of pressure buildup inside the eye, which ultimately damages the eye\u2019s optic nerve. As glaucoma progresses, one may experience his or her peripheral vision to weaken. Prior to that, however, there are no initial symptoms. In fact, it\u2019s estimated that nearly 1 million people have glaucoma but are unaware.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Age<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2013<\/span><b>related macular degeneration (AMD)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Although it rarely results in blindness, AMD deteriorates one\u2019s central vision because of damage to part of the retina called the macula. With this central or \u201cstraight ahead\u201d vision affected, activities such as driving or reading become challenging.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Cataracts<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Defined as the clumping of proteins within the lens of the eye, a cataract causes cloudy or opaque vision. Those who have had vision affected by cataracts must have surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a new one.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Diabetic retinopathy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: This is a complication of diabetes, wherein blood vessels in the eyes burst and bleed, eventually detaching the retina. Those with diabetic retinopathy experience shadows or dark objects that float within their field of vision. While there is no cure, laser treatment is often effective in preventing blindness before the retina becomes too damaged.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6418 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2026\/10\/CAL.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2026\/10\/CAL.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2026\/10\/CAL-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2026\/10\/CAL-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2026\/10\/CAL-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><b>Risk Reduction: What Seniors Can Do<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like all of our organs, eyes ar<\/span>e not immune to the process of aging. A gradual decrease in vision may be normal as we age, but it\u2019s not uncommon for seniors to have excellent vision. Encourage your aging loved ones to take the following steps to ensure their eyesight remains sharp late into life:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Schedule a comprehensive eye exam annually (at a minimum), to check for:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Visual acuity (measuring sight at varying distances)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pupil dilation (widening the pupil using drops, to determine signs of disease)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tonometry (measuring fluid pressure within the eyes)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Protect eyes from ultraviolet light. If going outside when it\u2019s sunny, be sure to wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Don\u2019t smoke, or take steps to quit. The chances of developing many of the aforementioned eye diseases increase dramatically if you smoke.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exercise regularly and follow a healthy diet (with physician\u2019s approval), with foods high in antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins A and C, and magnesium. Pay close attention to sugar intake especially, as studies indicate sugar has a significant impact on eye disease formation. Always check with your physician before making any dietary changes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Notify your optometrist immediately if you notice any changes in vision.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Comfort Keepers<\/b><b><sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/b><b> Calgary Can Help<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The compassionate, professional caregivers of Comfort Keepers can help your aging loved ones live comfortably at home, even if they struggle with their vision.
