  1. COMMON EYE DISEASES EYE DISEASES IN AGING

  2. CATARACTS: CLOUDING OF THE LENS Cataracts are a leading cause of vision impairment in older adults. In this, the vision becomes blurry due to the clouding of the clear lens inside the eye. The main risk factor is age, but there are other factors as well, such as smoking, diabetes, prolonged UV radiation exposure, as well as certain drugs.

  3. AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION (AMD): A THREAT TO CENTRAL VISION AMD is a progressive condition affecting the macula, the central part of the retina that provides crisp central vision. A diet deficient in antioxidants, smoking, aging, and heredity are significant risk factors for AMD.

  4. GLAUCOMA: THE SILENT THIEF OF SIGHT Often referred to as the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can lead to optic nerve damage and vision loss. It is often associated with elevated intraocular pressure. Glaucoma risk factors include aging, family history, and certain medical disorders.

  5. DIABETIC RETINOPATHY: A COMPLICATION OF DIABETES A consequence of diabetes that results from damage to the blood vessels in the retina is called diabetic retinopathy. Diabetes and persistently elevated blood sugar levels increase the risk of this eye condition in the elderly. It can lead to blindness if left untreated.
