Veterans Can Get Assistance for Vision Loss
Many Veterans are experiencing vision loss due to age-related issues or combat-inflicted brain injuries. More than a million Veterans are legally blind or live with low vision. Ophthalmologists and other eye care professionals at the VA are helping veterans protect their vision.Older Veterans are living with age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, stroke, and diabetic retinopathy. Eye care specialists must identify patients at a higher risk of vision loss to prevent sight loss. Eye care professionals are administering routine eye exams and assisting Veterans living with blindness or low vision. Due to COVID-19, Veterans can get eye exams via tele-eye screenings.
