<p>Eye disease and vision loss affect millions of Americans — including many older adults in your community. As people get older, they’re at greater risk for common eye diseases and conditions, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataract, and glaucoma.</p>

<p>Many eye diseases have no early symptoms. But the good news is that regular comprehensive dilated eye exams can help adults age 50 and older protect their vision by catching eye diseases and conditions early, when they’re easier to treat.</p><p>We need your help in getting the word out about vision and aging. Older adults and their families need to know how they can protect their vision and prevent vision loss. Help spread the word about the importance of early detection, treatment, and follow-up care for preventing vision loss and blindness.</p>
