conditions that may affect older adults, such as glaucoma and macular

Optometric Association.
His presentation will include important information about vision conditions that
may affect older adults. He will talk about normal changes to the eyes due to
time, such as dry eyes, cataracts, and presbyopia. Additionally Dr. Filar will
discuss other eye diseases that need to be closely monitored, such as glaucoma,
and macular degeneration, as well as the effects that diabetes and hypertension
have on the eyes. He will talk about the importance of nutrition and vision, and
