A member asked:
What are the changes that take place in healthy, normal eyes as you grow into old age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: First you will experience near vision issues after age 40. Then your vision may take a little longer for adaptation to changes in light. Your reflexes will also slow. The lense will collect material as a normal process of aging although later changes may turn to cataract.
