Ronald Hessler, ophthalmologist at the Luther Midelfort Eye Care Center, will present a lecture titled “The Aging Eye – What to ‘Look’ For” at the second of the spring 2009 Optimal Aging Lecture Series to be held from noon-1 p.m., Wednesday, March 4, at the Red Cedar Medical Center—Mayo Health System in Menomonie.
As the human eye matures throughout adulthood, many changes occur that can affect vision and comfort. Hessler will discuss vision tools such as multifocal glasses and low vision aids; internal eye diseases like cataract, glaucoma, macular degeneration and changes to the external eye such as dryness, allergy and skin and eyelid changes.
The three-part Optimal Aging Lecture Series is a partnership between UW-Stout and Red Cedar Medical Center. The series is designed to explore topics related to the field of gerontology with faculty, students, practitioners and consumers. The final lecture of the series will be held Wednesday, April 15, and will focus on financial and estate planning.
The talk is free and will be held in the Education Center. A light lunch will be provided. Parking is available in the east parking lot. Space is limited, so those interested in attending are required to call 715-233-7464 to register.
