Geriatric Eye Care Services in Monsey, NY
Specialized eye care for seniors at Wesley Eye Care in Monsey, NY. With aging comes a greater need for comprehensive eye exams and for sophisticated advanced treatment. We address age-related vision changes, cataracts, glaucoma, and more.
As we age, our eyes naturally change and become more susceptible to certain conditions. Regular eye exams become increasingly important for adults over 60. Our geriatric eye care services address the unique needs of older patients.
Common Age-Related Eye Conditions
- Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) - Affects central vision and is the leading cause of blindness in adults over 55. Early detection allows for better management.
- Cataracts - Clouding of the eye's natural lens that causes blurry, hazy vision. Most people will develop cataracts by age 80.
- Glaucoma - Often develops without symptoms, making regular pressure checks vital for adults over 60.
- Diabetic Retinopathy - Affects those with diabetes. Annual dilated eye exams are essential.
- Presbyopia - Normal loss of near focusing ability that typically begins around age 40-45.
