Preferred term

ageing and vision  

Definition

  • Age-related changes in vision can profoundly affect the quality of life for seniors, decreasing independence and mobility and increasing physical injuries, such as hip fractures. But what aspects of vision change with age? And what produces those changes? Despite the critical importance of vision for functioning in everyday life, much still remains to be learned about the effects of healthy ageing on vision.
