SUMMARY:Aging Eyes\, Aging Vision: What Changes And What Can Be Done-Dr. Cathy Stern
DESCRIPTION:Register\nAging Eyes\, Aging Vision: What Changes And What Can Be Done-Dr. Cathy Stern\nDescription:\n\nAging Eyes\, Aging Vision: What Changes and What It Means for Your Practice\nAs we age\, the visual system changes in ways that can affect reading\, driving\, mobility\, balance\, comfort\, and overall quality of life. In this lecture\, Dr. Cathy Stern explores how aging impacts the eyes and the broader visual system\, with a focus on the clinical signs that matter in everyday practice. She discusses common age-related changes\, how visual processing and eye teaming can influence function\, and why a comprehensive approach to evaluation and care is essential. \nDrawing on her background in behavioral\, developmental\, and neuro-optometric care\, Dr. Stern highlights practical strategies that can help practitioners better identify visual issues in older adults and support their independence. This lecture will be of particular interest to your practice because it offers timely\, clinically relevant insights that can strengthen patient care\, expand understanding of age-related visual challenges\, and support more effective treatment planning. \nBio \nCathy Stern\, OD\, FOVDR\, FCSO\, FNORA \nDr. Cathy Stern\, OD\, FOVDR\, FCSO\, FNORA is a behavioral\, developmental and neuro optometrist near Boston in the USA.
