Question For Optometrist Or Optician
10 Answers
Does eyesight autotmatically deteriorate with age? My eyesight is seriously reduced when there is no artificial light in the evening. I have to feel my way from kitchen to living room if I do not bother to switch on the light. At night I have no vision at all without anything to guide me. It is to save electricity that I do not leave the light on all the time. I have very good quality varifocal lenses (Varilux).

I experience some of the symptoms mentioned there myself. (e.g. poorer low light vision than I used to have and my eyes taking time to adapt when, say, going into a brightly-lit supermarket on a dark night). Having had an eye test only 3½ months ago, I just put it down to the very early stages of cataracts forming (which the optician said were nothing to worry about yet), plus simply getting old.

chrissakes, yes yes and yes
My eyes grow dim with age
The eyes truly do dim with age. For one thing, the pupils — the round, black holes that let light stream into the eyeball — get smaller as people get older. Because of this process, called pupillary miosis, the pupils remain small even in dark places, resulting in less light entering an older eye.
and yes leave LED lights on - it costs more to switch on and off - as fluorescent lighting

Sadly, Stargazer;
'...The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.'
William Shakespeare As You Like It
Sigh!
