Eye Health and Changes in Your Vision

Some changes in vision are normal as we grow older. This section of our web site discusses these normal vision changes, explains the parts of the eye and how the eye works, alerts you to symptoms of possible vision problems, and provides you with a list of questions to ask your eye doctor, including:

• What is the cause of my vision loss?
• Do I qualify as legally blind? If so, what does legally blind actually mean?
• How can I find out about reading?

You can also learn about the different kinds of eye care professionals and the components of regular eye exam and low vision eye exam.

If you have experienced recent vision loss, we hope that VisionAware will give you a greater understanding of your vision impairment and the range of vision rehabilitation services that are available to you.
