Protecting Vision at Every Age
As we age, our eyes naturally change — but regular eye exams can help protect your sight for years to come. At Simply Eyes Hawaii, we specialize in comprehensive senior eye exams for patients age 60 and older.
Our Honolulu optometrists use advanced diagnostic tools to detect subtle vision changes early, helping you stay independent, confident, and seeing clearly.
Why Senior Eye Exams Are Important
After age 60, the risk of certain eye conditions increases — many of which can progress silently. Early detection is key to preserving healthy vision
Common age-related conditions include:
- Diabetic eye disease – changes in the retina from diabetes
- Cataracts – cloudy vision or glare sensitivity
- Glaucoma – increased eye pressure damaging the optic nerve
- Macular degeneration – loss of central vision
- Dry eyes – irritation, tearing, or blurred vision
Our doctors carefully evaluate both vision clarity and overall eye health, looking for early signs of disease even before symptoms appear.
What Happens During a Senior Eye Exam
During your visit, our Honolulu eye doctors will:
- Check your vision and update your contact lens and eyeglasses prescription
- Evaluate eye health with dilated retinal imaging
- Screen for glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration
- Discuss medications, lifestyle, and any visual changes
- Provide personalized recommendations for clearer, safer vision
Our doctors take time to explain each step in plain language and ensure your exam is comfortable and stress-free.
Personalized Treatment & Care
Every patient’s vision is unique. Based on your results, we may recommend:
- New or updated glasses to reduce glare and improve clarity
- Prescription eye drops for dry eye or glaucoma
