Detecting and Managing Age-Related Eye Conditions

As we age, vision changes become more common. Our adult and senior eye exams help detect and manage:

1. Presbyopia (Age-Related Farsightedness)

• Typically begins around age 40.
• Makes reading small print more difficult.
• Corrected with reading glasses, bifocals, or progressive lenses.

2. Cataracts

• Clouding of the eye’s natural lens.
• Symptoms include blurry vision, glare sensitivity, and faded colors.
• May require cataract surgery if vision is significantly impaired.

3. Glaucoma

• Increased eye pressure that can damage the optic nerve.
• Often asymptomatic until significant vision loss occurs.
• Managed through medications, laser treatment, or surgery.

4. Macular Degeneration (AMD)

• Leading cause of vision loss in adults over 50.
• Affects central vision, making reading and recognizing faces difficult.
• Detected through retinal imaging and optical coherence tomography (OCT).

5. Diabetic Eye Disease

• High blood sugar can damage the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy.
• Regular diabetic eye exams help prevent blindness.
• Managed through blood sugar control and medical intervention.
