Adapting to Vision Changes in Your 40s and Beyond
Your 40s are often a time of new focus—on career, family, and health. But they’re also a time when your eyes may start to need more attention. At Hauser-Ross Eye Institute, we help adults in Sycamore and nearby communities understand and manage age-related vision changes with advanced care and personalized treatment options.
👓 What Happens to Your Eyes After 40?
One of the most common changes people notice is presbyopia—a gradual loss of near vision. You might start holding reading material farther away or notice it takes longer for your eyes to adjust between distances.
Other age-related vision changes may include:
- Dry Eyes: Tear production decreases with age, leading to burning, redness, or fluctuating vision.
- Night Vision Challenges: Lights may seem overly bright, and glare from oncoming traffic may become more noticeable.
- Increased Risk for Eye Diseases: Conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration become more likely.
These changes are common—but they don’t have to slow you down. The key is early detection and personalized care.
