Vision Care for Retirees
Healthy eyes are essential for independence, safety, and quality of life. As we age, our vision changes, and routine eye care becomes increasingly important. Professional Benefit Solutions offers Vision Insurance for seniors to help cover exams, corrective eyewear, and treatment for age-related eye conditions — benefits that Medicare and most supplements do not provide.
Why Vision Care Matters
By the time we reach 65, roughly one in three adults experiences vision issues related to aging. Common changes include:
-
Presbyopia: Difficulty focusing on close objects, often requiring stronger reading glasses over time
-
Cataracts: Clouding of the lens, affecting color perception and clarity; surgery can fully restore vision
-
Glaucoma: Gradual loss of peripheral vision
-
Macular degeneration: Reduced central vision
-
Diabetic Retinopathy: Affects approximately 40% of Americans with diabetes and can cause permanent vision loss
-
Other changes: Reduced contrast, blurry vision, light sensitivity, low vision at night
Regular eye exams can detect these conditions early, ensuring timely treatment and helping seniors maintain independence and quality of life.
Why Vision Insurance is Important
About 60 percent of Americans wear contacts or glasses, and that number continues to grow. Vision changes with age, lack of exercise, exposure to blue light from phones, TVs, and computer screens, as well as weight fluctuations.
Vision Insurance provides:
-
Coverage for annual eye exams to catch problems early
-
Assistance with corrective eyewear including glasses and contact lenses
-
Surgical benefits for certain eye illnesses or injuries
With the right plan, seniors can keep their eyes healthy and enjoy the clarity and independence that good vision provides.
Protecting Your Vision
Cataracts, color dimming and other age-related changes are common, but many conditions can be treated or corrected with timely care. Vision Insurance helps seniors afford routine care, corrective lenses, and treatments that Medicare does not cover, giving peace of mind and protecting a lifetime of sight.
Professional Benefit Solutions will help you find a vision insurance policy that meets your needs, keeping your eyes healthy and your independence intact.

The Importance of UV Protection
It is a good to remember that the ultra violet rays of the sunshine we love can be dangerous if we are not protected. We have all learned a lot about the need to slather everyone with sunscreen to protect skin from sunburns which can lead to skin cancers later in life. Most of us are pretty careful to protect the backs of...
