Easy to read, easy to understand, and filled with simple, science-based, and actionable advice. Anyone ages 40+, and especially anyone age 60+, should give it a read.

Very informative book on the health issues connected to an aging eye. The article discussed the eye diseases that come with age: cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and the current recommended medical solution.
The most important recommendation: Don't be lazy about eye exams. They are important! Once you reach age 40 think about making an appointment for a regular eye exam every 2-3 years. When you reach over 50 it needs to be every year. Eary detection of eye issues will certainly give a greater probability of positive outcome from eye treatments.
