THE NEED

THE NEED

Vision loss among older people is due to clouding of the lens of the eye (cataracts) or to damage to the optic nerve (as occurs in glaucoma) or the retina (as occurs in age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy).

High blood sugar (diabetes) can lead to problems like blurry vision, cataracts, glaucoma, and retinopathy. In fact, diabetes is the primary cause of blindness in adults ages 20 to 74.

There is severe need of people in this area to be aware of this problem and attend regular eye check-ups.
