Growing old is a privilege.

But when it comes to eye health, aging can bring on several ocular conditions and diseases like glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, cataracts and diabetic retinopathy.

Vision impairment decreases one's ability to perform activities of daily living and increases the risk for depression.

Whether you need reading glasses, bifocals, post-cataract surgery care, or eye disease co-management, we've got you covered! 

At Hill Country Vision Center - Stone Oak in Stone Oak, we believe that prevention is the best medicine. That’s why annual eye exams are so important for seniors. Detecting eye conditions early on can help prevent or delay vision loss, keeping your vision clearer for longer. Some serious eye conditions don’t present noticeable symptoms until vision loss has occurred. Fortunately, these can be detected in their early stages by your eye care professional during your eye exam. 

If an eye disease is diagnosed, we’ll create a custom treatment plan and monitor your condition closely to ensure the best outcome. 

Contact Hill Country Vision Center - Stone Oak today to schedule your eye exam!


Senior Vision FAQs

Can presbyopia be corrected?

Presbyopia, age-related farsightedness, affects your eyes’ ability to focus on near objects. You may become aware of presbyopia once you begin holding books and newspapers at arm’s length to be able to read them. This condition is a natural part of the aging process and affects virtually all adults in their 40s. Our eye doctors will diagnose and help correct your presbyopia so you can see clearly again. They'll provide you with corrective glasses and/or contact lenses, such as monovision and multifcoals.

What are the most common vision problems in the elderly?

The most common causes of vision loss among the elderly are age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts and diabetic retinopathy. 

  • Age-related macular degeneration is characterized by the loss of central vision. 
  • Glaucoma results in visual field loss.
  • Cataracts cause blurred vision and faded colors among the elderly.
  • Diabetic retinopathy is characterized by blurred vision and floaters, among other symptoms. 
  • Other conditions include dry or watery eyes and floaters. 

Because many of these conditions may initially be asymptomatic, it's critical that elderly patients undergo routine eye exams. The earlier these conditions are detected, the better the treatment outcome. 

Can macular degeneration be prevented?

Although there’s no sure-fire method for preventing eye disease, certain lifestyle habits can put the odds in your favor. To help ensure healthy vision for a lifetime, wear high-quality sunglasses whenever outdoors, quit smoking if you do, eat eye-healthy foods, and ask your optometrist about taking AREDS supplements. Most importantly, regular visits with your eye doctor are crucial to keeping your vision sharp throughout your golden years.

Dr. Ip and Dr. Conner took great care of our eye needs, significantly improving on what we had exper... ienced previously. They were both friendly and took the time to explain things to us. The staff and eye glass specialist were also very friendly and professional. Pricing was competitive and they were willing to price match on contact lenses when I identified a better price elsewhere. Overall a great experience and our vision provider of choice going forward.

My daughter and I had a great experience here

I love this place. Everyone is so friendly. They squeezed me in because I ran out of contacts. I was... in and out in about one hour. They even price-matched a year supply of contacts and gave me complimentary contacts until my order comes in. The doctor was thorough, the place is super clean, and they have complimentary coffee and water. I don’t buy glasses, but the frame selection looks great. It’s a 30-minute drive from my house but so worth it!

Very nice office.

Dr Ip was wonderful and took her time with me to perfect my prescription. I have had vision issues i... ncluding optic neuritis and she was very thorough and helpful with my questions and concerns about my vision. The staff up front (totally forgot their names!) Was extremely kind and helpful with my shopping experience. I was definitely picky and they gave me great options and input on the various frames for my face shape and eyes etc. I will be back again and again!
