Growing old is a privilege.

But when it comes to eye health, aging can bring on several ocular conditions and diseases like glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, cataracts and diabetic retinopathy.

Vision impairment decreases one's ability to perform activities of daily living and increases the risk for depression.

Whether you need reading glasses, bifocals, post-cataract surgery care, or eye disease co-management, we've got you covered! 

At Insight Vision Center - Gardner in Gardner, we believe that prevention is the best medicine. That’s why annual eye exams are so important for seniors. Detecting eye conditions early on can help prevent or delay vision loss, keeping your vision clearer for longer. Some serious eye conditions don’t present noticeable symptoms until vision loss has occurred. Fortunately, these can be detected in their early stages by your eye care professional during your eye exam. 

If an eye disease is diagnosed, we’ll create a custom treatment plan and monitor your condition closely to ensure the best outcome. 

Contact Insight Vision Center - Gardner today to schedule your eye exam!


Senior Vision FAQs

Can presbyopia be corrected?

Presbyopia, age-related farsightedness, affects your eyes’ ability to focus on near objects. You may become aware of presbyopia once you begin holding books and newspapers at arm’s length to be able to read them. This condition is a natural part of the aging process and affects virtually all adults in their 40s. Our eye doctors will diagnose and help correct your presbyopia so you can see clearly again. They'll provide you with corrective glasses and/or contact lenses, such as monovision and multifcoals.

What are the most common vision problems in the elderly?

The most common causes of vision loss among the elderly are age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts and diabetic retinopathy. 

  • Age-related macular degeneration is characterized by the loss of central vision. 
  • Glaucoma results in visual field loss.
  • Cataracts cause blurred vision and faded colors among the elderly.
  • Diabetic retinopathy is characterized by blurred vision and floaters, among other symptoms. 
  • Other conditions include dry or watery eyes and floaters. 

Because many of these conditions may initially be asymptomatic, it's critical that elderly patients undergo routine eye exams. The earlier these conditions are detected, the better the treatment outcome. 

Can macular degeneration be prevented?

Although there’s no sure-fire method for preventing eye disease, certain lifestyle habits can put the odds in your favor. To help ensure healthy vision for a lifetime, wear high-quality sunglasses whenever outdoors, quit smoking if you do, eat eye-healthy foods, and ask your optometrist about taking AREDS supplements. Most importantly, regular visits with your eye doctor are crucial to keeping your vision sharp throughout your golden years.

Very nice office, great atmosphere and kind/courteous staff. Dr. Martinez makes sure to give you the... best options and explained why my prescription changed this year!

I heard about how great this place was from a moms group on Facebook and they did not disappoint. M... y son is little and gets nervous at doctors appointments so I was anxious about how it would go and if he would ever want to come back. They were so patient with him and explained things to him and myself very clearly. Dr. Martinez was great with my child and even gave his little spider man toy an eye exam as well. They approached my child with genuine kindness and joy and I truly appreciate that. My son loved it so much he wanted to go get an eye kit toy for him when he was done. So very thankful that my son was able to have such a positive experience with them.

I have to say the doctors and staff here have honestly been incredible for me and my daughters. I ha... d an exam and then when I got my glasses, something was totally off. The doctor redid my exam and got me new lenses and contacts and was super great about it! My 2 year old was also seen and given a stronger RX which then caused an eye turn. We went and saw the pediatric ophthalmologist to make sure it wasn’t a medical problem and they gave her a new RX. Since we had just recently ordered new glasses for her from Insight, I sent them the new RX and they are taking care of getting her new lenses! Honestly, we will be back every year just because their customer service is incredible!! Thank you all so much for taking care of me and my family!
