Understanding the Aging Eye/Glaucoma Screenings
Event Details
As we age, our eyes will change. These changes may include needing glasses, floaters, or even cataracts. Much of this can be corrected or mended. However, there are other, more severe eye conditions to be on the lookout for, as they can cause significant damage and even legal blindness!
Join us onsite at Kensington Park Senior Living for an engaging discussion with Sean Curry, MPH, Program Director at the Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington.
Sean will share with us: what is typical for our eyes and vision as we age; what symptoms to be on the lookout for; and eye conditions and diseases that can lead to permanent vision loss and even blindness.
Glaucoma screenings will be available after the event! Feel free to stay and enjoy some snacks and beverages as you wait to take part in a brief, 10-minute screening.
Our Promise at Kensington Park is to love and care for your family as we do our own. And we do. We are here for you – skilled, prepared and ready to participate fully in your care journey.
