Macular DegenerationMacular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in those over 55. This degenerative condition is related to the macula, the center of the retina. It is responsible for acute vision, focusing, reading, driving and fine work. There are two types of macular degeneration, Wet and Dry. Most are afflicted with the dry or atrophic type. Between 70-90 per cent of those with the condition have the dry. In this type, the macula atrophies or thins out and vision is lost. Most times one eye is affected but both eyes eventually are affected. Aging EyesMany age related eye problems are treatable if detected early enough. It is so important that regular visits to the eye doctor are a part of every senior citizen's schedule. The doctor can check for the most common conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma or other conditions associated with high blood pressure, diabetes and the like. The eye exam allows the doctor to get a benchmark for your eyes which will allow him to keep track of any changes that occur. BedwettingIncontinence is an all too common function on old age. Bedwetting can occur due to illness, medication, stress or other conditions. There are matress covers available and disposable pads to cover the sheets. In addition, adult diapers are available at drug stores. Be certain to change wet diapers or pads as moisture will encourage rashes or wounds. |
