Myopia can occur in the elderly. Myopia can occur in the elderly. The pathogenesis of myopia in the elderly is different from that of myopia in adolescents, which is usually caused by a combination of genetic factors and poor eye habits. In contrast, myopia in the elderly is more commonly caused by an increase in refractive power due to the expansion of the lens. At this point, when light refracts into the interior of the eye, the focal point will move forward and not be able to focus accurately on the plane of the retina, and myopia will form. Elderly people who have recently experienced symptoms of blurred vision must go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital in a timely manner to find out the cause. For the early formation of myopia from cataracts, glasses can be worn to correct the problem, and when cataracts continue to aggravate, the condition can be treated by surgery.
