Growing old is a privilege.

But when it comes to eye health, aging can bring on several ocular conditions and diseases like glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, cataracts and diabetic retinopathy.

Vision impairment decreases one's ability to perform activities of daily living and increases the risk for depression.

It's really hard to find a great optometrist who will ensure your prescription is correct and help y... ou save some money at the same time. Dr. Channing was so helpful and dove into my vision situation to get me the correct prescription. The rest of the staff, including the tech and salesman, were also very thorough and kind. Most importantly, Dr. Channing let me decide which prescription was best for me by having me practice reading with the lenses she suggested for a while. She also saved me some money by not doing the new dilation machine (not sure what that's called). My new prescription is 100% accurate and helping my eye fatigue while studying. The office itself is also very unique and has a friendly and upbeat atmosphere - different than many other office I've been to before.

I have been a patient here for years. I have consistently had positive experiences.

From the providers to the person who helps me find the right glasses, I always feel surrounded by people who really care about me as a patient, and are willing to take the time to understand my concerns and provide the highest quality of care. Can’t say enough good things about this place.

Senior Vision FAQs

Can presbyopia be corrected?

Presbyopia, age-related farsightedness, affects your eyes’ ability to focus on near objects. You may become aware of presbyopia once you begin holding books and newspapers at arm’s length to be able to read them. This condition is a natural part of the aging process and affects virtually all adults in their 40s. Our eye doctors will diagnose and help correct your presbyopia so you can see clearly again. They'll provide you with corrective glasses and/or contact lenses, such as monovision and multifcoals.

What are the most common vision problems in the elderly?

The most common causes of vision loss among the elderly are age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts and diabetic retinopathy. 

  • Age-related macular degeneration is characterized by the loss of central vision. 
  • Glaucoma results in visual field loss.
  • Cataracts cause blurred vision and faded colors among the elderly.
  • Diabetic retinopathy is characterized by blurred vision and floaters, among other symptoms. 
  • Other conditions include dry or watery eyes and floaters. 

Because many of these conditions may initially be asymptomatic, it's critical that elderly patients undergo routine eye exams. The earlier these conditions are detected, the better the treatment outcome. 

Can macular degeneration be prevented?

Although there’s no sure-fire method for preventing eye disease, certain lifestyle habits can put the odds in your favor. To help ensure healthy vision for a lifetime, wear high-quality sunglasses whenever outdoors, quit smoking if you do, eat eye-healthy foods, and ask your optometrist about taking AREDS supplements. Most importantly, regular visits with your eye doctor are crucial to keeping your vision sharp throughout your golden years.
