Eye Care

Do you have problems with your eyes? Do you have low vision? Take this quiz and find out.

There are many signs that signal vision loss. For example, even with your regular glasses, do you have difficulty:

• recognizing faces of friends and relatives?


• doing things that require you to see well up close,like reading, cooking, sewing or fixing things around the house?


• picking out and matching the color of your clothes?


• doing things at work or home because lights seem dimmer than they used to be?


• reading streets and bus signs or the names of stores?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, vision changes like these could be early warning signs of eye disease. Regular eye exams should be part of your routine health care. However, if you believe your vision has recently changed, you should see your eye care professional as soon as possible. Usually, the earlier your problem is diagnosed, the better the chance of keeping your remaining vision.
