A geriatric optometry residency.
Abstract
Increasing demands for vision care for the elderly will result in increasing needs for specialty skills in optometry. Examples of such skills include management of degenerative eye disease, rehabilitation of impaired visual functions, assessment of psychosocial dysfunction, and interdisciplinary health team participation. This article shows how a geriatric optometry residency differs from the general optometric curriculum, and from other types of residencies, in preparing the optometrist to meet the special needs of the geriatric population.
