For some people, their eyesight gradually declines. For others, it can happen quickly. When it comes to wearing glasses, the choice can be between getting prescription glasses or non-prescription over-the-counter “readers” also known as “cheaters.”

Here is why it is important to get an eye exam to determine if you need prescription glasses, if there’s an issue related to your vision, or if readers are okay to use, and how you can use your prescription to help you find the right pair of glasses for you.

Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative brain disease and the most common type of dementia. It causes a slow decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills. Age is the biggest risk factor for the disease, followed by s*x and family history.

There is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease. However, there is progress in Alzheimer’s and dementia research that is creating promising new treatments for those living with the disease, as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved medications for Alzheimer’s disease, which fall into two categories: drugs that change disease progression in people living with early Alzheimer’s and drugs that temporarily ease some symptoms of Alzheimer’s.

Here is how these drugs help treat and reduce the progression of Alzheimer's disease and its various symptoms.
