Macular Degeneration, Cataracts and other causes of Visual Impairment (A7GEM) - 01/01/2026 - 31/12/2028
Date: 01/01/2026 Location: Other
This course provides an overview of four common causes of visual impairment in older adults: age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), cataracts, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. ARMD is a common, chronic, progressive degenerative disorder of the macula. Clinical classifications are described with anatomical images to demonstrate how the disease affects the eye. Risk factors are listed before moving to symptoms and physical examination information. Diagnosis and ongoing management include diet, supplements, lifestyle factors and prevention. Cataracts are the clouding of the eye's normally clear lens which occurs naturally with age. Symptoms, physical examination, risk factors and management include surgical and non-surgical management options. Glaucoma is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disease which results in complex optic nerve atrophy/loss of retinal ganglion cells. Anatomical images provide an understanding of the impact of this disease on the eye. Symptoms, risk factors, examinations and treatment options are outlined. The final condition in this course is diabetic retinopathy. This is the presence of retinal microvascular lesions as a manifestation of long-term diabetes. Risk factors, pathophysiology, symptoms, assessment, management and complications are included for this condition.
