Get a comprehensive dilated eye exam to check for common eye problems. If you have not had an exam in a while, schedule one now.
Taking care of your eyes should be a priority just like eating healthy and being physically active. Healthy vision can help keep you safe each day. To keep your eyes healthy, get a comprehensive dilated eye exam each year: an eye care professional will use drops to widen the pupils to check for common vision problems and eye diseases. It’s the best way to find out if you need glasses or contacts or are in the early stages of any eye-related diseases.

Retirees and eligible dependents enrolled in the pre-65 plans, can access vision benefits through Davis Vision. Retirees and eligible dependents enrolled in the post-65 plan, can access vision benefits through Cigna Vision.

As an older adult, regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health. It can prevent many of the health problems that seem to come with age. It also helps your muscles grow stronger so you can keep doing your day-to-day activities without becoming dependent on others.
Keep in mind, some physical activity is better than none at all. Your health benefits will also increase with the more physical activity that you do.
Older adults with chronic conditions should understand whether and how their conditions affect their ability to do regular physical activity safely. When older adults cannot do 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity a week (for example, 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week) because of chronic conditions, they should be as physically active as their abilities and conditions allow.
