Abstract:
The prevalence of severe visual impairment increases with age. Additionally, visually impaired elders are much more likely to have mobility restrictions than their normal-sighted peers. Specifically, individuals with visual impairment between 65 and 74 years of age are three to four times more likely to have difficulty walking, going outside, and getting in and out of bed. This article reviews the eye and vision problems associated with aging and discusses management options.
