👁️✨ September is Healthy Aging Awareness Month! ✨👁️
Just like the rest of your body, your eyes change with age — but with the right care, you can protect your sight and enjoy clear vision for many years to come.
Here are our top tips for looking after your eyes as you get older:
🔹 Have regular eye exams – Conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration are far more common with age, and often develop without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. Regular checks are the best protection.
🔹 Book an OCT Scan – At Louth Vision Centre, we use advanced OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scans to look beneath the surface of your eye. This powerful technology gives us a highly detailed 3D view of your retina, helping us detect problems before they affect your vision.
🔹 Eat well for your eyes – Foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, plus omega-3s, can reduce the risk of age-related eye conditions.
🔹 Shield from UV – Sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement; they protect your eyes against long-term UV damage.
🔹 Support overall health – Controlling blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar lowers the risk of damage to the tiny blood vessels in your eyes.
🔹 Care for dry eyes – Age can reduce tear production, so staying hydrated and using artificial tears when needed can keep eyes comfortable.
💡 For ongoing care and peace of mind, our Eyeplan membership gives you unlimited eye care, advanced scans, exclusive discounts, and the reassurance that your vision is in safe hands.
