If, over the years, it’s become harder for you to read road signs, distinguish between red and green traffic lights, or deal with the glare of oncoming cars at night, then we have both good new and bad news.
The good news is, you’re not alone, according to U.S. News & World Report. “The unavoidable reality, however, is that driving skills deteriorate as we age … and by 2030, according to U.S. Census Bureau data cited by AAA, one in four drivers will be age 65 or older.”

Your eyes will start to change at age 40 and older 
, sigh, so what doesn’t, right?
But, sometimes these changes are drastic so you should have an eye exam, a comprehensive one, every year or two at the most.
Eye diseases can become more prevalent at this age, and often you will not notice symptoms early enough.
Here are some statistics:
- Nearly 850,000 have significant vision loss
- One third of Canadians develope age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness
- Smokers are six times more likely to catch macular degeneration than non smokers
You have control over some of your vision health. Be pro-active in your vision care.

Dr. Chi-Chao Chan of the National Eye Institute in Bethesda, Md., examined the direct effect of omega-3 fatty acids on a mouse model of macular degeneration and found a diet with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids resulted in slower lesion progression — with improvement in some lesions.
Chan says the mice with slower disease progression had lower levels of inflammatory molecules and higher levels of anti-inflammatory molecules, which may explain the protective effect of omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in high levels in cold water seafood — especially oily fish such as herring, mackerel, anchovies and sardines.
ps if you don’t like fish…or, if you don’t always have time to make fish on a routine basis, go for Omega 3 supplements.

The number of cases of the disorder increases substantially among individuals over age 60.
