This Mindful Monday, Shannon Braun, director of ERS' Center for Memory Support and Inclusion, tells us vision problems can lead to dementia in some people.
A study published in the American Medical Association’s Neurology journal estimated 1.8 percent of dementia cases — representing about 100,000 people in the United States — potentially could have been prevented through healthy vision.
Fortunately, 90 percent of vision issues can be prevented through early detection or treatment. So keep getting your eyes checked.
