The Ageing Eye

As we age, our eyes undergo various changes, leading to an increased risk of vision-related issues. While some changes are a normal part of the ageing process, others may indicate more serious conditions requiring prompt attention. Regular eye examinations are essential for early detection and appropriate management of age-related eye disorders.

Common Eye Symptoms

Presbyopia (lao-hua / 老花)

Difficulty in focusing on near objects is a typical age-related change, often necessitating reading glasses for comfortable reading.

Tearing

Excessive tearing can result from dry eye syndrome or more severe conditions like infections or blocked tear ducts.

Blurring of Vision & Difficulty Seeing in Dim Light

These symptoms may indicate cataracts or other serious conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, particularly in individuals with underlying health conditions like diabetes.

Floaters

Small dots or shapes drifting across the vision, often considered a normal part of ageing but may signal retinal tears or detachment if suddenly noticed along with lightning flashes.
