1, presbyopia
Presbyopia is the most common condition of eye function decline. As we get older, our eyes will gradually lose focus and can only see things in the distance. The elderly should first accept this phenomenon, because it is a normal phenomenon brought about by natural aging, which is inevitable. What we can do is to start prevention as soon as possible, do some eye care in advance, or try some methods to protect our eyesight and try to delay this aging as much as possible.
2. Cataracts
Cataract has a high incidence in the elderly, which is a kind of visual impairment caused by lens opacity. Generally, with the increase of age, the probability of suffering from cataract will increase significantly. On the one hand, the cause of disease is related to aging. If patients usually have some bad habits, such as smoking and eating sweets, it will also increase the risk of cataract. Therefore, it is suggested that the elderly should reduce the intake of high-sugar and high-calorie foods.
3. Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a serious eye disease, usually caused by optic nerve injury. Many elderly people suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which can easily lead to increased intraocular pressure, and then cause optic nerve damage. Early symptoms of glaucoma include blurred vision and swollen eyes. Everyone must be alert to these symptoms. If glaucoma is not treated in time, it is likely to lead to blindness.
4, dry eye syndrome
To keep your eyes healthy, you need to keep your eyes moist first. Old people often have problems with lacrimal glands, which leads to insufficient tear secretion and dry eyes. When the eyes are too dry, patients often have symptoms such as eye pain and burning sensation. Older friends should never ignore these situations, because if their eyes are dry for a long time, their eyesight will drop obviously. We suggest that the elderly can use artificial tears to keep their eyes moist. If the discomfort is serious, try to see a doctor as soon as possible.
It is very normal that the body of the elderly will decline in different degrees according to their age. Everyone should accept his own aging, but he can't give in to it. Although the risk of various diseases increases obviously with age, aging can be delayed as long as everyone takes preventive measures and does more physical exercise.
