The geriatric evaluation unit (GEU), or geriatric assessment unit (GAU), is an increasingly popular component of the health care system. Interdisciplinary assessment and management by GEU teams is an effective way to lower the cost of long-term care for frail elderly hospital patients. Optometry can play a very important role on the GEU team because of the importance of vision assessment and care for the elderly.
