It's a
great website for those elderly patients who surf the web. It's called
NIHSeniorHealth (nihseniorhealth.gov). And recently, the National Eye Institute contributed five
vision-related topics to the enhanced version of
NIHSeniorHealth. The
National Institute on Aging and the National Library of Medicine
recently announced the expansion and updating of
NIHSeniorHealth, the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) health and wellness website designed
for older adults. Visitors to the site can learn about ways to prevent,
diagnose, and treat aging-related diseases and conditions including
age-related macular degeneration, cataract, diabetic retinopathy,
glaucoma, and low vision.
Health information is one of the key topics that older adults search for
online according to the Pew Research Center, and since its launch in
2003,
NIHSeniorHealth has been an accessible source of reliable,
up-to-date health information for adults 60 plus. Built to address
cognitive and vision changes that commonly occur with age,
NIHSeniorHealth includes senior-friendly features such as large type,
simple navigation, and open-captioned videos that make the site
especially easy for older adults to use.
