Ohio's population of people older than 80 is exploding. And that means the number of people with vision problems is expected to double by the year 2020 to 2.5 million. Kira Zeyer is marketing director for the group "Prevent Blindness Ohio." In an interview with Ohio Public Radio's Bill Cohen, she says state officials should begin planning now for all the extra problems.
