As We Age, Our Eyesight Changes

As we get older, our eyesight naturally begins to change. This can be caused by an array of factors, including eye diseases, ageing of the lens, and changes in the eye's ability to focus.

The most common vision problems that occur as we get older are presbyopia, cataracts and glaucoma. These age-related vision problems can be corrected or delayed, depending on the severity and how early they are caught. Prescription glasses and contact lenses will often help improve vision, while surgical procedures may relieve symptoms in more severe cases.

Visiting an optometrist regularly as you age will improve the chances that any changes to your eyesight will be detected early. Regular check-ups are even more critical if you have diabetes or high blood pressure, which can place additional strain on the eyes. Our optometrists will talk you through any changes that may need to be monitored and provide advice on how best to preserve your vision

Frequently Asked Questions

What Can't an Optometrist Do?

While visiting an optometrist is one of the first lines of defence in protecting your eyesight as you age, there are certain parts of ocular care they can't provide. For instance, an optometrist cannot diagnose or treat serious medical conditions. If your optometrist notices signs of a more serious eye disorder through screening, they will refer you to an ophthalmologist for further assessment and treatment. Optometrists also don't carry out surgical procedures on the eyes. For treatment involving surgery, you'll again be referred to an ophthalmologist.
What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a condition in which the optic nerve of the eye becomes damaged, resulting in loss of vision. It's typically caused by increased intraocular pressure and is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. Glaucoma can be detected through regular eye examinations, meaning it's important to have a check-up with an optometrist at least once every two years (or more often if you're at higher risk).
Can Colour Blindness Be Cured?

Unfortunately, there is no cure for colour blindness. It's usually caused by an inherited condition and cannot be reversed or treated. However, people with colour vision deficiencies can still lead a normal life—they may need to take extra care in certain situations, such as when driving or operating machinery. An optometrist can advise on how to manage your colour blindness best.
