Re: Keeping your eyes healthy

I am 57 and have never had an eye test. I read without glasses except in a poor light where I use some bought reading glasses, number 1. I have avoided opticians because I keep thinking they will try to sell me glasses, but I take the point that I should be checking my eye health.
Hi all, I often view the threads on here, but this is the first time I've decided to post - it's an interesting topic!
I know I sound pessimistic but HoneyPots is right issi, you just can't tell all is well unless you have a professional check your eyes.
I couldn't work out how your eyesight could deteriorate at such a rate so did some searching online and found out that it's your peripheral vision that gradually worsens and your field of vision eventually narrows so much that you seem to be looking through a tunnel, but because the signs appear so gradually, you don’t realize you have developed glaucoma.
