| Watch out for middle-aged vision problems
Act now to protect the windows to your soul
As you age, the physical functioning of your body may slowly degenerate, and visual functioning is no exception. Visual degeneration usually begins from middle age, vision problems such as presbyopia, cataract, and glaucoma are common eye diseases, in which presbyopia is the most common problem among all. Presbyopia is caused by a hardening of the lens of the eye due to aging. When the lens becomes less flexible, it can no longer change shape easily to focus on close-up images. Wearing corrective glasses and resting your eyes regularly would delay the deterioration of presbyopia. Person having chronic diseases such as diabetes, or with ophthalmology history and aged 50 or above should conduct regular vision check-ups to identify possible issues at its onset for early intervention.

中年眼疾勿忽視 儘早守護靈魂之窗
隨著年齡增長，身體機能難免轉差，視力退化亦是無可避免。視力退化通常發生於中年期，老花、白內障，以及青光眼等眼疾亦非常普遍，當中以老花最為常見。
老花成因源於眼球晶體變硬，失去彈性，導致對焦能力下降，看近的東西時景象變得模糊。配戴老花眼鏡，同時讓眼睛定時休息，都能延緩老花情況惡化。患上眼疾可能影響患者的日常生活，所以患有慢性疾病例如糖尿病、有眼疾病史及50歲或以上人士，應定期進行眼科檢查，及早發現問題並接受治療。
