A variety of age-related changes occur in the visual system of older adults who are free from identifiable eye disease. Normal aging of the eye can affect visual functioning in older adults, and a variety of psychophysical tests have documented some of these effects. Dr. Meredith Morgan, a distinguished optometric educator, describes many of these changes in his editorial "Vision Through My Aging Eyes." In this article, an overview of several common anatomical, physiological and psychophysical changes which occur in the eye with normal aging is provided, and specific observations made by Morgan are discussed in terms of this information.
在没有可识别眼病的老年人视觉系统中会出现各种与年龄相关的变化。眼睛的正常老化会影响老年人的视觉功能，并且各种心理物理学测试已经记录了其中一些影响。杰出的验光教育家梅雷迪思·摩根博士在他的社论《透过我衰老的眼睛看视力》中描述了其中的许多变化。本文概述了随着年龄正常增长眼睛中发生的几种常见解剖学、生理学和心理物理学变化，并根据这些信息讨论了摩根所做的具体观察。
