Personalized Vision Care for Life Over 60
Protecting the Eyes That Have Seen So Much
As we get older, our eyes need extra attention. Vision can change gradually—or suddenly—after 60, and many age-related conditions show no symptoms in their early stages. That’s why regular eye exams become even more important with time.
At Village Eye Centre, we provide personalized, compassionate care for seniors in North Edmonton and Sherwood Park. Our exams go beyond updating your glasses prescription—we screen for eye conditions that can impact your daily life, independence, and overall health.
What Do Senior Eye Exams Include?
Your exam will be tailored to your age, risk factors, and personal health history. It may include:
-
Screening for glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts
-
Checking eye pressure, corneal thickness, and visual fields
-
Monitoring for diabetic or hypertensive eye disease
-
Reviewing how medications or chronic conditions may affect your eyes
-
Updated vision correction for reading, distance, or driving
Glaucoma: Early Detection Matters
Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it can progress without noticeable symptoms. During your exam, we’ll check for early warning signs through advanced diagnostics. If you’re considered a glaucoma suspect, we may follow up with:
-
Visual field testing
-
OCT (optical coherence tomography) scans
-
Corneal thickness measurements
-
Eye pressure tracking
Depending on the findings, glaucoma may be managed in-office or referred for specialized care. We’ll walk you through every step.
A Holistic Look at Your Health
Your vision is closely tied to your overall wellness. During your senior exam, we may talk about:
-
Blood pressure and heart health
-
Sleep apnea and eye strain
-
Nutrition and lifestyle habits
-
How often you should be seen by an eye doctor based on your medical history
Your eyes can tell us a lot about your body. We take the time to listen, educate, and create a care plan that fits your needs.
