title: Diagnosing vision impairment before the onset of adverse effects.
abstract: As we age we experience natural changes in the structure of our eyes with drooping lids, changes in colour perception and difficulty adjusting to light. The prevalence of ocular diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, wounds retinopathy and macular degeneration also increase with age. Despite its inevitable and common occurrence, vision impairment is often undiagnosed and untreated. This could lead to adverse effects such as falls, medication non-compliance and general accidents.
