    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optometry
    • Corneal Physiology

    Background:

    • Distinguishing normal senescent corneal changes from pathological conditions is a clinical challenge.
    • Understanding corneal aging is crucial for accurate diagnosis in optometry.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a baseline understanding of corneal architecture and aging.
    • To describe common senescent corneal changes and their clinical presentations.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of corneal physiology and aging processes.
    • Description of common age-related corneal findings.

    Main Results:

    • Established baseline information on corneal structure and aging.
    • Detailed descriptions of senescent corneal changes and their clinical appearance.

    Conclusions:

    • Provides essential knowledge for optometrists to differentiate normal aging from concerning corneal conditions.
    • Aids in appropriate patient referral and management based on corneal examination findings.
