title: Aging and the visual system.
abstract: The ocular aging process involves everyone. Misconceptions about visual changes from aging versus visual changes from a disease have resulted in needless vision loss for many in the older population. Lack of understanding and misinformation may cause a delay in seeking medical attention for diagnosis and treatment.
