Aging changes in the retina

Degenerative changes caused by aging may affect the eye, especially the retina. Such changes occur as a part of normal physiological process and may be irreversible. It is noted that the retina is clearly undergo age-related morphological changes. Such changes provide a cellular base for explanation of decreased vision in humans with aging other than reflection errors. It can be considered that aging is not only qualitative, but also quantitative process.
