In this guide, optician Bob Pino, owner of An Optical Galleria and founder of Hook Optics, explains what really happens to your eyes as you get older. From presbyopia (trouble seeing up close) to common eye conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration, Bob shares how early detection and quality eyewear can make all the difference.

Learn why routine eye exams, UV protection, and polarized sunglasses are essential to prevent long-term damage from sun exposure and aging.
