(StatePoint) A medida que uno envejece, es importante que vigile su visión. Si bien se pueden esperar algunos cambios en la visión al paso del tiempo, otros pueden indicar algo más grave, como cataratas, glaucoma o degeneración macular relacionada con la edad (DMAE), lo que puede provocar pérdida de visión, visión borrosa y deslumbramiento.
Según un estudio, un tercio de todos los casos de cataratas, glaucoma de ángulo abierto y DMAE temprana ocurren en personas de 80 años o más.
