Dr. Stanley Pearle, founder and an older adult himself, advises on eyecare-related issues. "While it's true that certain eye disorders and diseases occur more frequently as we age, a great deal can be done to prevent or correct these conditions. That's why, above all else, I urge you to see a qualified eyecare professional annually for a complete eye exam."

Early detection can help reduce the effects of glaucoma, presbyopia, cataracts, macular degeneration and other eye-related illnesses that can have a long-term impact of the quality of your vision.

Pearle offers AARP Members customized services and great savings through AARP Vision Source, and even greater savings to AARP Health Care Options participants through AARP Eye Health Services. Pearle can also help in selecting the frames and lenses that are right for you.
