Eyes aren't exempt from the wear and tear of aging. Some of the age-related changes in the eyes are annoying but not serious — for example, it can become difficult to focus on near objects, and eyelashes may thin out a bit. But other changes can be serious eye problems that threaten vision.

With age, the eyes' ability to stay lubricated starts to wane. This can leave eyes feeling irritated, sticky, dry, or gritty. The lens of the eye can become less elastic. Night vision may also start to suffer, which can pose problems when driving at night. In contrast, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy can rob you of your sight.
How do you know if an eye problem is a nuisance or the start of something serious? The following signs and symptoms warrant a call to your doctor. Catching serious eye problems early can help preserve your vision. Even non-vision-threatening eye problems can be treated to keep your eyes comfortable and your eyesight as sharp as possible.

Refractive errors are a type of vision problem that makes it hard to see clearly. They happen when the shape of your eye keeps light from focusing correctly on your retina (a light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of your eye).

Refractive errors are the most common type of vision problem. More than 150 million Americans have a refractive error — but many don’t know that they could be seeing better. That’s why eye exams are so important.

If you have a refractive error, your eye doctor can prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses to help you see clearly.

The most common symptom is blurry vision. Other symptoms include:

🅾 Double vision
🅾 Hazy vision
🅾 Seeing a glare or halo around bright lights
🅾 Squinting
🅾 Headaches
🅾 Eye strain (when your eyes feel tired or sore)
🅾 Trouble focusing when reading or looking at a computer
Some people may not notice the symptoms of refractive errors. It’s important to get eye exams regularly — so your eye doctor can make sure you’re seeing as clearly as possible.

If you wear glasses or contact lenses and still have these symptoms, you might need a new prescription. Talk to your eye doctor and get an eye exam if you are having trouble with your vision.

👁 What is the best eye vitamin for macular degeneration? Lutein vitamin is considered a natural treatment for macular degeneration symptoms (AMD), which is considered the most common cause of blindness among older adults. Estimates show that more than 25 million people worldwide are affected by age-related macular degeneration or cataracts, especially people aged 55 and older living in industrialized Western nations. Sadly, the incidence of AMD is expected to triple by 2025, according to the American Optometric Association.

Lutein protects the eyes by filtering out a percentage of damaging short-wavelength UV light that negatively affects delicate parts of the eyes, such as the retina (the macula). Researchers at Harvard University have found that supplementing with lutein daily can lower the risk for macular degeneration.

Similarly, other studies show that higher dietary intakes of zeaxanthin and lutein along with other natural antioxidants, including vitamin C, beta-carotene and vitamin E, are associated with a significantly decreased risk of cataract formation. While the research is still in its early stages, taking lutein three times weekly for up to two years has been shown to improve vision in older people who already have cataracts.

Other benefits of lutein for eye health include:

✅ helping reduce eye fatigue, glare and light sensitivity
✅ helping keep the lens and retina at appropriate densities
✅ strengthening eye tissue
✅ and ­helping vision be more acute

When it comes to eye health, every person is different in terms of how much lutein is most beneficial. It’s possible that for some people, even with a relatively high intake of high-antioxidant foods, their blood levels might be high enough in nutrients like lutein, but testing tissues within their eyes will show that their retinal levels still remain too low. Luckily, doctors now have the ability to measure macular pigment levels of lutein in someone’s eyes in order to determine if that person is at an increased risk for disease. By performing a macular pigment optical density test (MPOD), doctors can better give specialized dietary recommendations for protective nutrients based on individual responses, genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors.

🍬 According to some animal studies, higher levels of carotenoids within the blood are linked with fewer problems controlling blood sugar and a lower risk for diabetes or related complications. A 2009 study conducted on diabetic rats found that supplementing with lutein and DHA (a crucial type of omega-3 fatty acid) helped normalize all diabetes-induced biochemical modifications.

Compared to the control group, diabetic rats taking the supplements experienced lower oxidative stress rates and less damage done to the retina of the eyes, despite being under hyperglycemic conditions.

🤕 Some evidence shows that people who obtain more lutein from their diets experience lower rates of breast, colon, cervical and lung cancers. While we don’t know exactly how lutein and cancer formation is tied just yet, correlational studies have shown that adults with higher levels of lutein in the blood experience a reduced risk of developing several forms of common cancers. This includes a 2018 study in which researchers concluded: “Dietary lutein supplementation may be a promising alternative and/or adjunct therapeutic candidate against breast cancer.”

Lutein may act as a natural cancer treatment because of the fact that foods rich in lutein (like leafy greens and citrus fruits) also provide other beneficial antioxidants and nutrients that lower disease-causing inflammation and oxidative stress. However, at this time, more research is still needed to help us fully understand the effects of carotenoids on cancer, along with immune, hormonal and cardiovascular health, independent of other nutrients that are found in fruits and vegetables.

🧠 Some observational studies show that xanthophyll carotenoids, including lutein, can help reduce the risk of developing heart disease and stroke. Just like with the previously mentioned studies that show potential cancer-protective effects of this carotenoid, we aren’t exactly sure yet how it improves heart health. Because it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, it seems that it would benefit heart health by lowering inflammation, which is an underlying cause of coronary heart disease.

Studies done by the University of Southern California suggest that low levels of lutein within the blood might contribute to the thickening of artery walls. This raises the risk for arteriosclerosis development and clogging of the carotid arteries that can lead to heart attacks. USC’s observational studies show that people with the highest levels of lutein in the blood experience less plaque buildup in the arteries, while the opposite is also true: The fewer lutein-rich plant foods someone eats, the more clogged their arteries seem to become. Another convincing factor is that after the researchers tested effects of the carotenoid on human arteries that were removed during surgery, fewer white cells were present within the arteries after lutein supplementation compared to controls, suggesting that less inflammation and clogging occurred.

🌤 𝗗𝗥𝗬 𝗘𝗬𝗘𝗦 - This happens when your eyes can't make enough good-quality tears. You might feel like something is in your eye or like it’s burning. Rarely, in severe cases, extreme dryness can lead to some loss of vision. Some treatments include:

✅ Using a humidifier in your home
✅ Special eye drops that work like real tears
✅ Plugs in your tear ducts to lessen drainage
✅ Lipiflow, a procedure that uses heat and pressure to treat dry eyes
✅ Testosterone eyelid cream
✅ Nutritional supplements with fish oil and omega-3

💢 If your dry eye problem is chronic, you may have dry eye disease. You doctor could prescribe medicated drops to stimulate tear production.

🤓 𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗦 - The retina is a thin lining on the back of your eye that is made up of cells that collect images and pass them on to your brain. Retinal disorders block this transfer. There are different types:

💢 Age-related macular degeneration refers to a breakdown of a small portion of the retina called the macula.

💢 Diabetic retinopathy is damage to the blood vessels in your retina caused by diabetes.

💢 Retinal detachment happens when the retina separates from the layer underneath.

✅ It’s important to get an early diagnosis and have these conditions treated.

👽 𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗦 - As you get older, you may find that you can’t see as well as you once did. That’s normal. You’ll probably need glasses or contacts. You may choose to have surgery (LASIK) to correct your vision. If you already have glasses, you may need a stronger prescription.

💢 Other, more serious conditions also happen as you age. Eye diseases like macular degeneration, glaucoma, and cataracts, can cause vision problems. Symptoms vary a lot among these disorders, so keep up with your eye exams.

💢 Some vision changes can be dangerous and need immediate medical care. Anytime you have a sudden loss of vision, or everything looks blurry -- even if it’s temporary -- see a doctor right away.

🐸 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗕𝗬𝗢𝗣𝗜𝗔 - This happens when you lose the ability, despite good distance vision, to clearly see close objects and small print.

💢 After age 40 or so, you may have to hold a book or other reading material farther away from your eyes to make it easier to read. Sort of like your arms are too short.

💢 Reading glasses, contact lenses, LASIK, which is laser eye surgery, and other procedures can be used to restore good reading vision.

👁️‍🗨️ 𝗙𝗟𝗢𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦 - These are tiny spots or specks that float across your field of vision. Most people notice them in well-lit rooms or outdoors on a bright day.

💢 Floaters are usually normal, but they sometimes can be a sign of a more serious eye problem, like retinal detachment. That’s when the retina at the back of your eye separates from the layer underneath. When this happens, you might also see light flashes along with the floaters or a dark shadow come across the edge of your sight.

💢 If you notice a sudden change in the type or number of spots or flashes you see or a new dark “curtain" in your peripheral vision, go to your eye doctor as soon as possible.

🧐 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 - When you can’t see certain colors, or can’t tell the difference between them (usually reds and greens), you may be colorblind. It happens when the color cells in your eye (the doctor will call them cone cells) are absent or don’t work.

💢 When it’s most severe, you can only see in shades of gray, but this is rare. Most people who have it are born with it, but you can get it later in life from certain drugs and diseases. Your doctor can tell you what’s to blame. Men are much more likely to be born with it than women.

💢 Your eye doctor can diagnose it with a simple test. There’s no treatment if you’re born with it, but special contacts and glasses can help some people tell the difference between certain colors.

😵 𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗘𝗬𝗘𝗦 - Your eyes look bloodshot. Why?

💢 Their surface is covered in blood vessels that expand when they’re irritated or infected. That gives your eyes the red look.

💢 Eyestrain can do it, and so can a late night, a lack of sleep, or allergies. If an injury is the cause, get it checked by your doctor.

💢 Red eyes could be a symptom of another eye condition, like conjunctivitis (pinkeye) or sun damage from not wearing shades over the years. If over-the-counter eye drops and rest don’t clear it up, see your doctor.

🤓 𝗖𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗦 𝗘𝗬𝗘𝗦 (Strabismus) and 𝗡𝗬𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗚𝗠𝗨𝗦 🔥

💢 If your eyes aren’t lined up with each other when you look at something, you could have strabismus. You might also hear it called crossed eyes or walleye.

💢 This problem won’t go away on its own. You’ll need to get an ophthalmologist, or eye specialist, to correct it.

💢 With nystagmus, the eye moves or "jiggles" all the time on its own.

💢 There are many treatments, including vision therapy to make your eyes stronger. Surgery is also an option. Your doctor will examine your eyes to see which treatment might work best for you.

🙈 𝗡𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 - Is it hard to see at night, especially while driving? Is it tough to find your way around in dark places, such as movie theaters?

💢 That sounds like night blindness. It’s a symptom, not a problem in its own right. Nearsightedness, cataracts, keratoconus, and a lack of vitamin A all cause a type of night blindness that doctors can fix.

💢 Some people are born with this problem, or it might develop from a degenerative disease involving the retina, and that usually can’t be treated. If you have it, you’ll need to be extra careful in areas of low light.

👀 𝗘𝗬𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡 - Anyone who reads for hours, works at a computer, or drives long distances knows about this one. It happens when you overuse your eyes. They get tired and need to rest, just like any other part of your body.

💢 If your eyes feel strained, give them some time off. If they’re still weary after a few days, check with your doctor to make sure it isn’t another problem.
