Your vision naturally changes as you age, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up comfort or style. At Positive Eye Ons, we provide comprehensive optometry care designed specifically for patients over 40. We tailor each exam to your age, vision needs, and lifestyle goals so you leave with clear vision and lasting confidence.
We use advanced diagnostic tools to catch age-related changes early and offer solutions that preserve your eye health without disrupting your daily routine.
How Often Should I Get My Eyes Checked After 40?
Once you reach your 40s, experts recommend scheduling a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year. Age increases your risk for conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, many of which begin without noticeable symptoms.
Regular exams help us detect these issues early and manage them before they progress. At Positive Eye Ons, we use cutting-edge tools like Optos imaging, OCT scans, and Neurolens testing to assess your eye health from every angle. The goal is simple: prevent complications and keep your vision strong as you age.
What Are Early Signs of Cataracts or Glaucoma?
Some signs are easy to miss without regular checkups. Watch for these early symptoms:
Cataracts:
- Blurry or cloudy vision
- Increased glare or halos from lights
- Poor night vision
- Colors may appear faded or less vibrant
Glaucoma
- Gradual loss of peripheral vision
- Eye pressure or discomfort
- Frequent prescription changes
- Halos around lights
Because glaucoma often develops silently, regular screenings are the best way to prevent long-term vision loss. Our diagnostic testing identifies these conditions in their early stages so we can act before they affect your lifestyle.
What Treatments Are Available at Positive Eye Ons?
Our comprehensive optometry care includes more than routine prescriptions. We actively manage age-related eye changes with real solutions.
For early signs of cataracts, glaucoma, or other age-related conditions, we offer personalized management plans. While we don’t perform surgery in-house, we coordinate closely with trusted specialists when needed. We often manage early glaucoma with routine monitoring, targeted lifestyle changes, and prescription eye drops.
We also treat age-related symptoms like digital eye strain, light sensitivity, and subtle misalignment using solutions such as Neurolens, which can relieve discomfort and improve visual clarity.
We build each treatment plan around your vision goals and your daily routine so you can stay clear, comfortable, and confident.
