Eye Aging

What is eye aging?

Eye aging refers to the changes that may occur in the eyes and vision over time. Some are part of the natural aging process, such as presbyopia, while others may be related to eye diseases that require monitoring.

What changes can occur with age?

As people age, they may experience difficulty seeing up close, reduced ability to adapt to darkness, increased sensitivity to glare, dry eye, and changes in visual quality. The risk of conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and certain retinal diseases also increases.

How can eye health be maintained as we age?

Regular eye examinations can help detect eye diseases at an early stage, even when they have not yet caused noticeable symptoms. Care may include eye pressure checks, retinal examinations, correction of refractive errors, and monitoring of existing eye conditions.
