Squinting, Poor Night Vision Increases In Your 40s
They say 40 isn’t fatal, but if you’re having trouble seeing at night once you’ve hit that milestone, it’s time to face the issue before you cause an accident.
There are several causes of bad night vision. Some people see fine during the day, but complain of limited or blurred visibility after dark. They usually benefit from prescription glasses for night driving or for outdoor night vision at a distance.
Others suffer from glare or halos around lights, which can be a sign of developing cataracts. Surgical treatments can usually provide relief, but it’s important to see an eye care specialist if you’re having this problem so that the proper course of treatment can be determined.
Still others have trouble seeing dim lights, which can be caused by a vitamin deficiency or early glaucoma, and then there are those who suffer from any or all of the above. Again, it’s important to see your eye care specialist and talk over all your symptoms so that he or she can get to the root of the problem.
We have to pay more attention to our whole body as we age, and while the eyes may not creak and groan as much as knees and elbows, they too are getting older and need care to keep them performing at their peak.
