I am 65 and my eyesight is really bad. i live in a rural area where finding a good opthamologist is difficult. how can i find someone who can help?

Rural ophthalmologis: Sight is very precious. There are many reasons for poor vision at the age of 65! cataract is the most likely, but glaucoma, macular degeneration, are leading concerns. You may preliminarily see an optometrist to at least be guided in the right direction, but ultimately it is the ophthalmologist that you need for the proper care!
