Healthy Living

If you are experiencing vision problems due to normal changes that occur as we age or from eye conditions, here are ten tips you can use to live more independently and safely:

1. Keep rooms well lit. Use nightlights in bedrooms, hallways, and the bath at night.

2. Eliminate clutter; return things to the same place; try using a basket to store keys, TV remotes, and other items.

3. Remove coffee tables, throw rugs or electrical cords that present a tripping hazard.

4. Use contrasting colors to make your doorways, stairs, and furniture easy to see.
