Abstract

Effective eye care in older people is important to enable healthcare professionals to identify eye disorders and provide appropriate treatment to prevent or minimise sight loss. Cataract, age-related macular degeneration and dry eye are common ocular conditions in older people, which need to be managed successfully to ensure optimum vision. This article provides an overview of these eye disorders, focusing on the nurse’s role in the prevention andtreatment of the conditions, and the provision of patient support and education.
