(Please note: the class topic was changed after our catalog went to press.  "Strong Steps: Keeping Your Feet Healthy as You Age" will be offered at a later date.) Your vision naturally changes with age, but there are many ways to protect your eyesight. Learn about common age-related eye conditions, warning signs that should never be ignored, the importance of routine eye exams, and healthy habits for lifelong vision. This webinar will provide practical tips to help you maintain healthy vision and independence as you age. Presented by Dr. Isabel Deakins, O.D., F.A.A.O., an optometrist and instructor of ophthalmology who cares for patients at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Medicine locations in Arlington, Virginia, and Bethesda, Maryland.

Dr. Stephanie Van, rehabilitation physician and assistant professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine will share her insights on common causes of chronic pain, along with practical approaches to managing discomfort.

Digestive changes are common as we age, but ongoing symptoms like abdominal discomfort, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea don’t have to be accepted as part of growing older. Marshall Bedine, M.D., assistant professor in the gastroenterology department at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, will focus on irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other common digestive concerns, helping you understand better what’s normal, what’s not, and when to seek care. He will highlight practical, easy-to-understand discussion on how IBS is diagnosed, common triggers, and evidence-based strategies to manage symptoms.
