With the process of aging, our body goes through many changes. The change in people's eyesight as we grow older is one of them. As we age, our other body organs, like tissues
and muscles, weaken, and our eyes do as well. Eyesight decreases as people age due to multiple causes and different intensities. The primary reason is aging, and other factors include quality of lifestyle, vision habits, and exposure to various hazards like UV lights.

This fact sheet is part of our Ophthalmology and Optometry Information Guide series, developed to help people understand eye conditions and their impact on navigating the built environment.
