Aged Health Services for the Aged Humans Insurance, Health Medicare United States Vision Tests Vision, Ocular
This paper discusses vision care needs of the elderly population as a public health concern. Emphasis has been placed on the current utilization of optometric services. Recommendations are made for optometric practitioners to get actively involved as members of the multidisciplinary health care team, both by learning about aging and teaching other providers about vision of the aging, to truly serve the visual needs of the elderly.
