Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world and a significant cause of vision loss in the geriatric population. Vision loss affects patient’s activities of daily living (ADLs) and quality of life. Cataracts are associated with risk factors such as increased age, diabetes mellitus, and steroid use. It is important for physicians to recognize that patients may not fully understand how cataracts contribute to vision loss and may attribute it to an incorrect eyeglass prescription or other etiology. This video covers cataracts in aging patients, who frequently have additional comorbidities or healthcare consideration to take into account that a non-geriatrician may not be trained to factor into care.

Elder Abuse

There are 700,000-1.2 million cases of elder abuse annually in the US, and internationally 2-10% of patients over 65 years old report a history of maltreatment. Less than 10% of the estimated elder abuse cases are reported. Elder abuse includes physical abuse, neglect, exploitation, abandonment, and sexual abuse,...

There are 700,000-1.2 million cases of elder abuse annually in the US, and internationally 2-10% of patients over 65 years old report a history of maltreatment. Less than 10% of the estimated elder abuse cases are reported. Elder abuse includes physical abuse, neglect, exploitation, abandonment, and sexual abuse, psychological abuse (i.e. humiliation, intimidation). Signs of abuse include physical trauma, poor hygiene, malnutrition, or dehydration. Signs also include unexplained broken glasses, noncompliance with prior treatment instructions, missed appointments, or nonspecific anxiety or depression. Abuse of the elderly is often from the spouse or children in the home. The 3-year relative mortality in the elderly with a history of abuse is 3 times greater than controls. The Elder Assessment Instrument is a highly sensitive but nonspecific test for elder abuse. Elder abuse is underreported by physicians, but physicians have a duty to report all cases of suspected abuse in most states. In many cases, the best solution is to treat the abuser’s underlying social and psychological issues and allow the older patient to remain at home.
This video covers the key points that all physicians need to be aware of, as any physician can spot the signs and help a patient suffering from abuse. Since very few physicians are trained in elder abuse, few will recognize the signs and have the appropriate tools to get help for the patient. This video discusses the signs as they may present in the course of a vision-care setting, how to address the problem, and what resources are available to those seeking to help their patients.

The number of aging post WWII baby boomers and increasing life expectancy in the US means an increase in patients with age related eye disease (AREDs). Strategies to prevent these causes of vision loss include regular eye exams, blood pressure control, glycemic control, and smoking cessation. Especially in this high-risk population, it is important for providers to educate the patient on the risks of their conditions and actively engage them in their treatment and comorbidity management. This includes presenting the patient with treatment options as well as strategies to help the patient maintain compliance, such as recording time of medication use. This video discusses the incidence and prevalence of visual diseases in the aging population, ways to address the cost of care, and the unique challenges that face the aging patient.

Low Vision in Aging Patients
produced by Springer; interview by Yi-Hsien Renee Yeh (Berlin, Berlin State: Springer, 2019), 14 mins
When vision loss is not corrected with spectacles or medical or surgical intervention, it is called low vision. About 25% of patients with impaired vision have difficulty with acts of daily living, and about 1/3 of patients with advanced macular degeneration are depressed.

When vision loss is not corrected with spectacles or medical or surgical intervention, it is called low vision. About 25% of patients with impaired vision have difficulty with acts of daily living, and about 1/3 of patients with advanced macular degeneration are depressed. These considerations are unique in aging patients, who may need specialized care that many medical professionals are not trained to provide. This video covers these unique needs and discusses when it might be appropriate to refer a patient to an eldercare agency, where assistance with transportation and daily living assistance and skills training are better suited for certain cases.

When treating geriatric patients, physicians must keep a differential of systemic diseases that could manifest with ocular symptoms. This is especially crucial when treating elderlies with multiple comorbidities and vasculopathic risk factors. For example, when assessing diplopia patients, one must first attempt to localize the lesion with a thorough motility examination. In addition, clinicians must keep in mind the risk factors such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, hypercholesteremia, and compressive lesions. Of these, diabetes is the most common etiology account for 46% of pupil sparing third nerve palsy. Other pathology that must be excluded include giant cell arteritis and myasthenia gravis. Patient must be cared for competency-based aspect of dealing with multidisciplinary clinical problem and refer patient to appropriate physicians for adequate care. This video covers the unique aspects of all of these things as seen in the aging eye, which physicians across specialties may not have been trained to do.

Most major eye diseases occur more often in the elderly population, yet the quality of their care is reduced if the patient is unable to communicate due to other health considerations. As with other patients who struggle to communicate—children, for example—this barrier does not mean the patient should not receive quality care. Instead, physicians should do a thorough physical exam first to determine common and treatable issues, such as refractive error. Since aging patients struggle with comorbidities more than any other demographic, taking their unique needs into consideration while screening for comorbidities is essential to optimal care.This video covers the unique challenges physicians may encounter with aging patients as it relates to vision care and other comorbidities, the implications of these comorbidities in screening for visual diseases, and tips for quality care in the largest population in the world.
