Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in older Americans (50+), but many do not know they have early-stage AMD.

What the world may look like with AMD:

A blurry or missing center: The person may see reasonably well around the edges, but the center of their vision can be blurry, gray, or have a blank/dark spot.

Faces become difficult to recognize: They may see someone's hair, clothing, and outline but have trouble seeing the person's facial features.

Reading becomes difficult: Words may disappear in the center or become difficult to focus on, even though the surrounding page is visible.

Straight lines can look crooked or wavy: This is particularly characteristic of wet AMD or other macular damage.

Colors may appear less vivid.

Fine details disappear: Things like facial expressions, small print, needlework, or details on a television screen can become very difficult.

Peripheral vision can remain relatively good: Unlike glaucoma, AMD generally does not start by causing loss of peripheral vision. Someone may be able to navigate a room while still being unable to see clearly what is directly in front of them.

Did you know that glaucoma is a leading cause of vision loss and blindness in the United States? Half of the people with glaucoma are unaware they have it. Glaucoma has no early symptoms, making a comprehensive dilated eye exam the only way to check for it. While there's no cure, early treatment is crucial to prevent vision loss.

Anyone can get glaucoma, but some people are at higher risk, including those who: Are African American and over age 40 Are over age 60, especially Mexican Americans Have a family history of glaucoma

Four Hidden Signs of Vision Problems in Kids

As children grow and change from year to year, so do their eyes and vision. School demands
intense visual involvement, including reading, writing, computer and chalkboard/smartboard
work. Even physical education and sports require strong vision.

If their eyes aren’t up to the task, a child may feel tired, have trouble concentrating, and have
problems in school.

Sometimes parents can tell if their child has a vision problem. For instance, their child
may squint, hold reading material very close to their face, or complain about things appearing
blurry. However, there are some less obvious signs of vision problems.

Here are four signs that could point to possible vision problems in kids:https://pvfla.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2024/06/Four-Hidden-Signs-of-Vision-Problems-in-Kids-UPDATED-with-PVF-logo.pdf
