What are the most common age related ocular conditions?
There are many conditions of the optics that we become more susceptible to as we age, are caused
by secondary conditions due to chronic disease, or congenital.
- Macular Degeneration caused by age – it is often called age related macular degeneration
(AMD). This is a disorder that shows clinical presentation of deteriorating sharp and
central vision. Which aids in seeing fine details for daily tasks. If you feel daily tasks
are difficult, do not delay going to see the perfect Dr.
- Cataracts- the most common cause of blindness, presents with clouding of the lens. A
procedure to remove cataracts is very common but most people do not go through with the
procedure due to insurance coverage, treatment cause, and being un-aware that the procedure
for cataracts exists. We allow you to double check these potential barriers and avoid them,
which saves a lot of time.

complication of diabetes that leads to damage to the blood vessels in the retina. The damage
of blood vessels leads to progressive problems being able to see.

quickly with glaucoma, but it presents as pressure and discomfort which alerts people to
seek medical attention. If you are suffering with ocular pain and discomfort, we can help
you locate an optometrist that can take control of your glaucoma.

to vision strain or loss. Please see a Dr. if you or your child has positioning impairment
of the optics.

Your pupils do not usually need to be dilated every time you have an exam. But the reason your
physician does dilate your pupil is to get a better look at your retina and optic nerve.
