    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Gerontology
    • Vision Science

    Background:

    • Senescence leads to significant physiological changes in the anterior eye.
    • These age-related alterations can affect visual acuity and ocular health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the common and serious changes in the anterior eye associated with aging.
    • To highlight the impact of these changes on vision.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of common age-related ocular conditions.
    • Description of pathological changes in ocular structures.

    Main Results:

    • Frequent findings include refractive errors (hyperopic or myopic shifts) and diminished tear secretion, potentially causing dry eye syndrome.

  • Degenerative changes in the corneal endothelium can lead to corneal decompensation and edema.
  • Prevalence of senile cataracts and chronic open-angle glaucoma increases with age.
  • Macular degeneration and anterior ischemic optic neuropathy are serious conditions causing significant central vision loss.

    • Conclusions:

    • Aging significantly impacts anterior eye structures, leading to various visual impairments.
    • Early detection and management of age-related eye conditions are crucial for preserving vision.
