Geriatric Eye Care
Geriatric eye care focuses on identifying and managing the vision changes and eye diseases that become more common with age. As adults grow older, their eyes are more susceptible to a variety of conditions that can affect clarity, comfort, and overall quality of life. At Bay Vision Center, we provide dedicated care to help seniors maintain the best vision possible through every stage of aging.
Common Age-Related Eye Conditions We Address
Cataracts
As the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy over time, vision can gradually appear blurred, dim, or distorted. Cataracts are extremely common in older adults and can be effectively monitored and treated when detected early.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
AMD affects the macula—the part of the retina responsible for detailed central vision. This condition can make tasks like reading, recognizing faces, or driving difficult without proper care and monitoring.
Glaucoma
Often called the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma involves damage to the optic nerve, sometimes related to elevated eye pressure. Because symptoms may not appear until vision loss has already occurred, regular screenings are essential for early detection.
Diabetic Retinopathy
For older adults living with diabetes, changes in retinal blood vessels can lead to impaired vision or more serious complications. Routine exams allow our team to track progression and provide effective management strategies.
Dry Eye Syndrome
Age-related changes in tear production can lead to irritation, burning, or blurry vision. We offer targeted treatments to restore comfort and protect the eye’s surface.
