Yes, an optometrist in Edmonton can provide treatment for age-related eye conditions. Age-related eye conditions such as cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma are common in older adults. An optometrist can provide a comprehensive eye exam to detect these conditions, monitor their progression and provide appropriate treatment options. For cataracts, an optometrist may refer you to an ophthalmologist for surgery, for age-related macular degeneration an optometrist can provide you with vitamins and minerals supplements, and for glaucoma, an optometrist may prescribe eye drops or refer you to an ophthalmologist for further treatment. They can also provide recommendations for lifestyle changes and assistive devices that can help manage symptoms and slow the progression of these conditions.
