It is reported that nearly 3.5 million Americans over the age of 40 have some degree of vision loss, most commonly from age-related conditions. This number is expected to double in the next few decades as the baby boomers grow older.

Along with her vision loss, came the loss of independence and driving, depression and a life that would forever be different.

The Caregiver Alliance has an excellent description of the causes of age-related vision loss.
