Geriatric Optometry--Today and Tomorrow.

Verma, Satya B.

Journal of Optometric Education, v7 n4 p9-11 Spr 1982

Although there is some geriatric content in optometry curriculum, such as pathology and diseases associated with aging, the emphasis would be better placed on aging as a normal process. Further education about the elderly population as a whole and further legislation for comprehensive care are needed. (MSE)
