As populations age, the demand for specialized care in geriatric eye care has increased significantly. Age-related ocular conditions, including cataracts, macular degeneration, and dry eye syndrome, require unique management strategies that prioritize patient independence and comfort. Tailored assessments, including low-vision evaluations, are essential in determining appropriate interventions to improve life quality. A multidisciplinary approach, bringing together optometrists, ophthalmologists, and other healthcare providers, is crucial for addressing comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension, which can worsen ocular conditions. In addition to innovative treatments like advanced intraocular lenses and minimally invasive surgeries, patient education on the importance of lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining proper nutrition and UV protection, plays a vital role in preventing further vision loss and enhancing overall health.
