Cataracts<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/eye-conditions\/guide-to-cataracts\/cataracts\/\">Cataracts<\/a> occur when proteins from the eye\u2019s lens begin to accumulate on the surface of the lens. When this happens, the eye\u2019s naturally transparent lens becomes more opaque\u2014 leading to cloudy or blurred vision.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Cataracts generally develop overtime, typically from the age of 40.<\/p>\n<p>As they gradually develop, you may first notice your distance vision becoming more blurry or even a temporary improvement in your near vision.<\/p>\n<p>As the cataract gradually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/eye-conditions\/guide-to-cataracts\/cataract-faqs\/\">progresses<\/a>, the lens will begin to turn yellow, and sometimes even brown. This can lead to difficulty distinguishing between shades of color, and if left untreated, can eventually lead to total vision loss.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, cataracts can be treated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/eye-conditions\/guide-to-cataracts\/when-should-i-have-cataract-surgery\/\">surgery<\/a>, in which the cloudy lens is replaced with a clear artificial lens.<\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Eye conditions<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>As we age, our risk of developing serious eye conditions increases.<\/p>\n<p><b>The most common conditions diagnosed among older adults include: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/eye-conditions\/glaucoma-guide\/glaucoma\/\">Glaucoma<\/a>, both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/eye-conditions\/macular-degeneration-guide\/dry-macular-degeneration-amd\/\">dry<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/eye-conditions\/macular-degeneration-guide\/wet-macular-degeneration-amd\/\">wet<\/a> age-related macular degeneration, other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/eye-conditions\/macular-degeneration-guide\/macular-diseases\/\">macular conditions<\/a> and and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/eye-conditions\/guide-to-diabetes-and-the-eyes\/diabetic-retinopathy\/\">diabetic retinopathy.<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, in many cases, these conditions don\u2019t present with noticeable symptoms until permanent ocular damage has occurred\u2014 also resulting in some degree of vision loss.<\/p>\n<p>In order to protect your eyes from these sight-threatening conditions, eye doctors recommend having an annual eye exam beginning from age 40, when your risk of developing these conditions significantly increases.<\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Ptosis<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/eye-conditions\/ptosis-why-is-my-eyelid-drooping\/\">Ptosis<\/a> is characterized by a drooping of the upper eyelid.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This condition can affect one or both eyes. The severity of the eye droop will determine if your vision will be affected or not\u2014 in some cases, the eye droop may cover the pupil and block vision, while in other cases, the eye droop is slight and hardly noticeable.<\/p>\n<p>Ptosis occurs as a result of a weakness of the levator muscle, the muscle responsible for lifting the eyelid. This condition can be caused by aging, eye surgery, or an eye disease that affects the levator muscle or nerve. Ptosis is generally corrected with surgery.<\/p>\n<h2><b>4. Posterior vitreous detachment<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) occurs when the gel-like substance in the back of the eye begins to shrink and pull away from the retina<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>This is a normal part of the aging process, but can cause eye <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/eye-conditions\/treatments-for-eye-floaters\/\">floaters<\/a> and sometimes even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/what-are-eye-flashes\/\">flashes<\/a> of light in the visual field that may take you by surprise.<\/p>\n<h2><b>5. Presbyopia<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>As we age, the lens inside the eye begins to lose its flexibility and its ability to bring near objects into focus\u2014 resulting in blurry near vision. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/optical\/presbyopia\/\">Presbyopia<\/a>, also known as age-related farsightedness, typically affects adults beginning from age 40.<\/p>\n<p><b>When this occurs, reading glasses are usually required for near-vision tasks, such as reading, texting, knitting, and even computer use.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Some people will require multifocal lenses that contain multiple powers\u2014 for near, intermediate, and distance vision impairments.<\/p>\n<h2><b>6. Reduced pupil size<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>With age, the muscles that control the size of the pupil and the pupil\u2019s reaction to light, begin to weaken. This leads to a reduced pupil response to changes in ambient or poor lighting and causes the pupils to appear smaller than normal.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, you may notice halos around lights while driving, and find it difficult to read or use a computer in dimly lit environments.<\/p>\n<h2><b>7. Dry eye<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/dry-eye\/dry-eyes-and-aging\/\">dry eye syndrome<\/a> can affect people of all ages, older adults are more susceptible to this condition since the quality and quantity of their tears tend to diminish over time.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are eye drops, gels and ointments that can offer long lasting relief of dry eye symptoms.<\/p>\n<h2><b>8. Loss of peripheral vision<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Aging has been shown to cause a loss of peripheral vision by 1-3 degrees for every decade of life.<\/p>\n<p><b>In fact, some people reach a peripheral vision loss of 20-30 degrees by the time they reach their 70th birthday.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>While peripheral vision loss can be a normal part of aging, it can also indicate the presence of a serious eye disease, such as glaucoma. Therefore, if you notice any vision changes or vision loss, schedule an eye exam to rule out any conditions that may require immediate attention.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Decreased<b> color vision<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>As we age, the cells in the retina responsible for color vision begin to diminish.<\/p>\n<p><b>This can make it difficult to distinguish between different colors and also result in colors appearing less vibrant<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>While this generally occurs as part of the natural aging process, it can also occur as a symptom of a more serious eye disease, such as age-related macular degeneration. It is therefore best to keep up with your regular eye exams to monitor your ocular health and protect your vision.<\/p>\n<p><b>Routine eye exams are essential for maintaining ocular health. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Most serious eye diseases can even be detected even before symptoms are noticed. Your eye doctor will examine your eyes and perform a series of tests to ensure that your eyes remain healthy and your vision intact.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LEARN MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/guide-to-eye-health\/\">Guide to Eye Health<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you have been noticing changes to your vision, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\">schedule an appointment for an eye exam<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i>Your eye doctor will discuss the changes that can occur as you age, and help you to effectively maximize your vision.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you age, you may discover that your vision just isn\u2019t as sharp as it used to be.\u00a0Vision changes can occur over time and cause you to wonder if what you are experiencing is normal or if you should schedule an appointment with your eye doctor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":9939,"parent":12328,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-article.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[242,359,366,507,508,241,290,384,422],"class_list":["post-9938","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cataract","tag-diabetic-retinopathy","tag-dry-eyes","tag-flashes","tag-floaters","tag-glaucoma","tag-macular","tag-presbyopia","tag-ptosis"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
