September is Healthy Aging Month

September is Healthy Aging Month, a perfect time to remind people that maintaining healthy vision is part of aging well.

Preserving one's sight is important in maintaining independence and quality of life. The National Eye Health Education Program (NEHEP) of the National Eye Institute (NEI) has developed See Well for a Lifetime: An Educational Series on Vision and Aging, a free online Toolkit to help people working with older adults in community settings to promote eye health as part of healthy aging.
