Timely detection of vision reduction can enable glasses, ophthalmological treatment, or rehabilitation. Vision reduction in older adults is associated with reduced self-care capacity, increased fall and accident risk, cognitive decline, and depression.

The main causes of age-related vision reduction are uncorrected refractive errors, cataract, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma.
