Mehiläinen’s eye health examination 60+ is a comprehensive package designed for a comprehensive assessment of eye health in people over 60 years of age.
The eye health examination helps detect various eye diseases, many of which can be treated effectively. In particular, cataract is a common age-related eye disease that typically begins to show symptoms with age. The good news is that cataract can be completely cured with surgery, which usually restores vision completely all at once. In addition, refractive lens exchange can correct refractive errors brought on by aging, such as presbyopia, and significantly improve the quality of vision.
Many eye diseases, such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and cataract, can develop asymptomatically for a long time. This means that vision can deteriorate unnoticed, and treatment is sought only when the disease has already progressed far. A regular ophthalmologist examination is the best way to detect these changes in time, allowing treatment to start as early as possible. Regular examinations are highly recommended, especially if there is a family history of eye diseases or if you have diabetes or hypertension, for example.
The appointment booking guides you to book the OCT examination first, as you must attend it before the doctor's appointment. Once you have booked the OCT examination, you can book the eye health examination for a time after that.
Have an OCT scan before the ophthalmologist's appointment. You can have the scan even on the same day as the ophthalmologist's appointment, but it can be at most one month old.
During the 30-minute appointment, the doctor will measure your eye pressure, assess the health of your eyes based on the OCT images and other examinations, and provide further treatment instructions. It is recommended to bring information about your current prescription for glasses as well as any previously diagnosed eye diseases and performed eye surgeries to the appointment.
If possible eye diseases emerge in the examinations, the ophthalmologist will refer you for further examinations or, for example, for a preliminary examination visit for cataract surgery. Further treatment is not included in the package price.
Eye health examination 60+ is aimed especially at people over 60 years of age who want to prevent eye diseases and ensure their vision is preserved. The examination is beneficial even if you do not have significant eye symptoms, as many age-related eye diseases initially progress asymptomatically.
The examination is particularly important if:
The examination is not suitable for acute eye symptoms. If you experience sudden or severe eye symptoms, seek medical attention directly at emergency services or an ophthalmologist's practice.
An eye examination for aging eyes is important because many age-related eye diseases, such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration, can develop asymptomatically for a long time. Early detection and treatment are key to safeguarding vision.
Common eye diseases associated with aging include age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma (ocular hypertension), and cataract. Diabetic retinopathy is also a risk for people with diabetes.
Glaucoma (ocular hypertension) is usually treated with eye pressure-lowering medications or surgery. With the correct treatment, the progression of the disease can be stopped or significantly slowed down, and vision can be preserved.
Cataract can be completely cured with surgery, which usually restores vision completely all at once. Cataract surgery is a common and safe operation.
