  9. Common eye problems

    Few 40-year-olds' to-do lists include "Be proactive about not going blind," so you might have to play catch-up.

"Patients may go to the drugstore and get these over-the-counter reading glasses and think, 'Hey, I've fixed my eyes,' " says Andrew Iwach, an ophthalmologist who is executive director of the Glaucoma Center of San Francisco. "Yet they may be unaware that they can be silently losing vision."
