Alabama Eye & Cataract Center and Michelson Laser Vision in Birmingham want to thank our Alabama veterans for their dedication and efforts in protecting our nation and allowing us our freedom. Our Ophthalmologists & Optometrists wish to raise awareness among veterans of the particular considerations necessary to help preserve their eye health and vision. Military veterans of the Iraq or Afghanistan wars are more likely than those who served in earlier wars to have vision loss as a result of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Higher rates of TBI in these recent wars can be attributed to two factors: explosive devices have been a major cause of injury, and improved body armor has enabled soldiers to survive more serious injuries. Veterans of the Vietnam, Korean, or early wars are in or entering life stages when eye disorders like cataracts, glaucoma, age related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy are more likely to occur. Also, like everyone in mid-life and beyond, Veterans may find their near vision decreasing due to Presbyopia or “aging eyes”.
The eye doctors and staff at Alabama Eye & Cataract Center and Michelson Laser Vision in Birmingham are committed to making sure that our veterans preserve and maintain their eye health and vision in order to take the fullest advantage of the freedom they have provided for all of us.
