IS FACE BLINDNESS A THING?

Think of the faces of those who mean the most to you — your parents, siblings, significant other, and children. Now imagine waking up one day and not being able to recognize any of them. What sounds like the plot of a science fiction novel is an actual medical condition known as prosopagnosia, the inability to recognize or distinguish faces.

WHAT CAUSES THE EYES TO BULGE?

Eyes that bulge, or protrude from their normal position, could be a sign of a severe medical condition. Proptosis and exophthalmos are the medical terms used to describe bulging eyes. While some people are born with eyes that protrude more than usual, others develop them due to an underlying medical condition.

FRIENDS MAY INFLUENCE WHEN YOU GET CATARACTS

According to a recent JAMA Ophthalmology study, seniors with a smaller family support network are less likely to get cataract surgery. Adult children influence an older person’s decision to have cataract surgery more than friends, spouses, or partners.

Fabulous Foods for Your Eyes

Eating a diet low in fat and rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can pay benefits not only to your heart but to your eyes. The connection isn’t surprising: your eyes rely on tiny arteries for oxygen and nutrients, just as the heart relies on much larger arteries. Keeping those arteries healthy will help your eyes.
