Protecting your vision is important at every age—especially during summer. This helpful article from the American Optometric Association breaks down the most common vision changes as you reach your 60s and how to stay ahead of them.

At CareAparent, we encourage aging adults to take simple steps to protect their eyes this summer:

✔️ Wear UV-blocking sunglasses
✔️ Use wide-brimmed hats outdoors
✔️ Stay hydrated for eye moisture
✔️ Don’t skip routine eye exams

Vision changes occur as you get older, but these changes don't have to affect your lifestyle. View information for seniors on vision changes and problems, driving safely, and dealing with vision loss.
