Empowering Seniors

Aging Gracefully & Powerfully



As a busy cataract surgeon with an office practice of more than 25,000 patients, Dr. Anderson deals mainly with the retired population and those facing retirement within the next decade. This puts her in a unique position to observe the importance of attitude and activity in aging, health and wellbeing.

In order to inspire her patients and other older adults to stay active and engaged in their second half of life, Carolyn founded an online magazine, Impowerage, that publishes articles on health, fitness, lifestyle and more.

Carolyn writes an “On My Mind” column for Impowerage where she shares motivational and medical advice. Along with a personal trainer she co-wrote the exercise guide 50+ Fitness Guide: It’s Never Too Late to be Fit.

Impowerage donates 20% of its proceeds to fund research into the prevention and treatment of macular degeneration.
