Vision problems are common in people of all age groups but the severity is more in elderly people. Elderly people get vision defects as their age grows and develop issues related to sight. Thus they need long-lasting and approachable treatment. Diabetes is one of the important factors which will lead to diabetic retinopathy, if not treated in time may lead to vision impairment.”
