Sight loss is closely linked to ageing, certain health conditions such as diabetes, dementia, economic status, low education and lifestyle factors including smoking, obesity and diet. Studies show that more than 50% of sight loss is preventable with timely visits to an eye care professional. More than 80% of all sight loss occurs in people over the age of 80. The most common causes of vision loss are age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and cataracts. A regular eye test can detect various health problems before they become severe. Even if you don’t notice any changes in your vision, it’s important that you and your family visit an eye care professional at least once every two years.
