There are all kinds of correspondence, generally in the form of postcards, telling people to call to get dental coverage under Medicare, or that Medicare will be so much cheaper if you call the number on the card.
The Department of Insurance is recommending that people do not answer any of these post card solicitations.
This is a scam.
Older vision
Glaucoma often comes from too much fluid pressure inside the eye. Deteriorating peripheral vision may be a sign. If not treated, it can lead to vision loss and blindness. People with glaucoma often have no early symptoms or pain. You can protect yourself by having regular dilated eye exams, especially if you have certain risk factors such as African or Hispanic ancestry and having migraines, diabetes or low blood pressure. It can be treated with prescription eye drops, lasers or surgery.
Eyelid problems can results from different diseases or conditions. Common problems include red and swollen eyelids, itching, tearing and crusting of eyelashes during sleep. These can be caused by a condition called blepharitis (ble-fa-RI-tis) and treated with warm compresses and gentle eyelid scrubs.
Don’t forget Saturday, April 9, from 10 to 2 is the RVNA Health Fair at the East Ridge Middle School. Everything is free.
Hope to see all you seniors.
See you in two weeks, Chris
