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 Family Eye Care Services in Pawtucket, 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.

I want for people to know about my experience here. I made and appointment there because they had a ... no wait ( not 2 weeks like others) They were prompt when I went in there and nothing but smiles from employees. Less than a week I received my glasses. They were professional ( Mercedes)and very pleasant experience.

As an Advocate for a disabled teen, I went into the office just before closing with a pair of broken... glasses. Today was the first day of school and the teen I was helping started her first day at a new high school without being able to see. The Special Ed Team Leader asked me to help her get her glasses fixed. I said I would try my best. I found out that the teen has an appointment in a few weeks to get new glasses. I walked in with a pair of broken glasses and in 10 minutes walked out with perfect glasses! This teen will be so happy when we pick her up for school tomorrow with new glasses! A compassionate office and a staff member that saw a great need and filled it. Very professional in my book! Tomorrow they are getting homemade chocolate chip cookies! Thank you Family Eye Care!

Few weeks ago I called and I had the worst customer service ever, the lady that answered my call was... so rude. So I gave it another shot called back and spoke to Beliza which was so pleasant over the phone. Mercedes helped help me out ordering the frames that I wanted. If it wasn’t for Beliza and Mercedes I would’ve took my money elsewhere.

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.
