How Eye Health Impacts Academic Performance in Children

When children struggle in school, many parents and teachers immediately consider challenges such as attention span, learning differences, or motivation.

What Are the Early Warning Signs of Macular Degeneration?

Macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of vision loss among adults over 50. While it does not cause complete blindness, it can significantly affect central vision, making everyday tasks such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces more difficult.

Understanding the early signs and prioritizing routine eye exams are key to preserving vision and detecting changes as soon as possible.

It is a progressive condition that can increase the risk of serious eye health issues later in life if not properly managed.
