Abstract

According to data from World Population Prospects 2019 [1], one in 11 people in the world was over the age of 65 in 2019 (9%), and this number is expected to increase to one in six (16%) by 2050 since life expectancy is also expected to increase from current 72.6 years to 77.1. When age-related changes turn into age-related conditions, they manifest into eye disease, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataract, or pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome. [...]older persons generally have greater susceptibility to infections than younger adults.
