Cataracts may occur naturally with age and can be treated to restore visual clarity and improve your quality of life. They often happen due to natural changes in your eyes that come with age and cause blurry, clouded, or faded colour vision. Healthy lifestyle habits along with regular eye exams and care can lower your risk of cataracts. If you’re curious about prevention or treatment options, contact the Bayview Vision Care team.

Another age-related eye disease is AMD, causing your central vision to blur. It’s one leading cause of vision loss for older adults and can come on slowly in some cases. There are treatments for some forms of AMD, depending on its stage of progression, but your best defense is early detection and prevention. Regular eye exams allow us to detect small changes in your vision that you may not notice right away.

Amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (crossed eyes) are 2 common conditions resulting from eye misalignment. Eyeglasses, contact lenses, and vision therapy are all possible treatment options for strabismus, while amblyopia is often treated by encouraging the use of the weaker eye. These conditions typically begin in childhood, so seeking early treatment is the best way to prevent potential complications and impacts on vision.
