Aging brings several changes to vision, such as presbyopia, cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Karachi’s senior population is increasingly seeking specialized eye care to maintain clear vision and independence.
Presbyopia, which affects near vision, typically starts after 40 and is easily managed by reading glasses or multifocal lenses. Cataracts are another common concern, where the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, requiring surgery to restore vision.
Glaucoma and AMD, if left untreated, can cause permanent vision loss. Karachi’s leading eye hospital, The Eye Center – Dr. Mahnaz Naveed Shah & Associates, offer advanced diagnostic tools such as OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and visual field testing to detect these conditions early.
Treatment may include medications, laser therapy, or surgery, depending on the condition’s severity. Regular eye exams are essential for aging individuals to monitor changes and prevent avoidable vision loss. The Eye Center offers personalized care plans and surgeries using the latest techniques to improve and preserve vision in older adults.
