How is your senior\u2019s vision? If her eyes aren\u2019t as healthy as they could be, that can cause big problems for her in terms of her overall quality of life.<\/p>\n
Safety Accessories Just Make Sense<\/strong><\/p>\n Safety goggles exist for reasons, namely people who have injured themselves in the past. When your elderly family member is doing something out in the yard, goggles or other eye protection is a great idea. But other safety accessories, like sunglasses, can also be important. Try to match up the activity with a proper safety tool whenever you can so that your senior\u2019s eyes are as protected as possible.<\/p>\n Screen Time Is More Damaging than People Think<\/strong><\/p>\n Brightness levels on screens can help make it easier to read or to see what\u2019s on the screen, but too many hours in a row of staring at a bright screen can be damaging to your senior\u2019s eyes. Wearing glasses that have blue light filters can help quite a bit. Taking a break from screens can also be very helpful. Help your elderly family member to find other hobbies that she can enjoy that allow her to take a break from screens.<\/p>\n
