According to Robert C. Layman, OD, the following are signs those over the age of fifty should be aware of and see their doctor if they notice these problems. It is important to take good care of one's eyes as well as our general health.
- Frequent changes in vision. They could indicate diabetes (this was true for me) or high blood pressure.
- Floaters with flashes. Having some floaters is normal but having many, along with flashes, is not.
- Loss of peripheral, or side, vision. This is a potential sign of glaucoma.
- Wavy or distorted vision. A common symptom of age-related macular degeneration.
