<h2>September is Healthy Aging Month</h2><p>While older adults are at higher risk for eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), getting older does <strong>not</strong> have to mean losing your vision. That’s why it’s important to spread the word about ways to prevent vision loss in older adults and support healthy aging.</p><p>This Healthy Aging Month, join the National Eye Health Education Program (NEHEP) to help raise awareness about eye health and aging! Let people in your community know how they can protect their vision as they get older.</p>
