If you want to know the greatness of creation, you look to the eyes that contain our feeling of; love, fear, hate and hundreds of other feeling in addition to its connection with your brain; consequently you must protect this small system. But you should know what are the changes that happened to the eye as we are getting old, and what happened when the doctor examines the eye, and who are the most experience doctors in this field, finally, ?you should know what myopia and presbyopic mean.
 
The experts in this field say that our eyes are just like any other part of our body, they become different whenever we get old, sometimes the simple changes which happens to our eye may lead to serious problems that affect our vision. when we get old, the muscles of the eyelid get weaker and the thickness of the skin get smaller and the flaccidity get more than before which affects the upper or the lower eyelids and the eyelash and the eyebrow lose their thickness, the secretion of the tear becomes lesser which leads to the dryness of the cornea and to increase the mucus then to the viscidity, in this case eye drops is very useful.
 
When we get older the cornea becomes fragile and its color becomes yellowy because of the increase of the limber fibers , the exterior covering of the eye becomes yellow too because the fat gathered in this area , the lens changes too , it becomes more solid and less flexible in which the person can not concentrate on the close objects , we can called this case as Presbyopia ,and the vision becomes bad at night , sometimes getting old causes cataract ,the interior cavity becomes flat with people who have small eyes and hyperopic then we may be endanger of Closed-angle Glaucoma that may lead to lose the vision.
 
Also, there are some other internal changes in the eye especially in the opaque substance that fills the eye and becomes small pieces called collagen which affect the retina but we can cure it if we discover it early, sometimes when we get old the retina becomes less sensitive than before.
 
In other words, the best protect is to visit the doctor, but children who have not any inherited illness don’t have to go to the doctor frequently .It is enough to examine your eyes every 3-5 years .As for those who are between 40-64 and don’t have any problems in the eye we recommend them to examine their eyes every 2-4 years, those who are over 65 should examine their eyes every year or two. The doctors ask you many questions about your health , allergies , family history and other questions , these questions are important to estimate the degree of the illness or if you have diabetic which affect the eye and the vision , the doctor also asks if you put glasses or lenses and the kind of medicine that you use  . The doctor examines the external part of the eye, the eyelid, the eyelash and the pupil then he examines the internal eye  to see the tissues.
 
There are three kinds of doctors; the orthalmologists who is qualified to do the operations and to cure the illness , the doctor who measures the vision  but he is not qualified to do the operations or cure the illness and the last kind is the vision technician who makes the glasses and the contact lenses.
