Senior Eye Care

One of the most significant senses of the human body is eyesight. Almost 80% of our perceptions come through our sensations of sight. In many cases, vision often deteriorates gradually as people age. In fact, one in every three Americans is likely to suffer from an eye impairing condition by the time they attain the age of 65. To reduce the numerable odds of blindness and prevent defective vision in your senior years, you should protect your eyes and take care of them. At Eye Care Associates in Optometry in Midtown Manhattan, we care about the health of your eyes, especially during your senior age. If you have any eye problems, our team of highly trained and reputable professionals will ensure you go home with a permanent solution for your eye issue. Taking good care of your eyes prevents you from developing age-related eye diseases like glaucoma and cataract.

Common Eye Conditions in Seniors 

If your focus of vision is gradually changing with age, and you feel any defect in your visual capacity, you may be suffering from Cataracts. Usually, the lens is transparent, and if there's any clouding, then it is called a cataract. This condition can be treated by a quick, outpatient method.

Some conditions do not have any symptoms until after visual loss has occurred. One such example is open-angle glaucoma. Open-angle glaucoma is known to be the leading cause of blindness. If you're a diabetic or a myopic, you should get your eye pressure checked every year to prevent the severity of Open-angle glaucoma. 

A red and painful eye that doesn't clear up on its own is an indication of Uveitis. Symptoms include light sensitivity, blurring of vision, and pain or redness of the eye. There is an array of treatment options for this condition that our qualified optometrist can administer. Another one could be Retinal diseases. These are conditions of the retina that may lead to loss of vision. Out of roughly 12 million diabetic Americans, an estimated 90 percent are prone to develop diabetic retinopathy.
