Abstract

Unfortunately, we all are aging. It is unfortunate that variations in structure and function of body components occurring with age make interaction with an individual's environment less robust. This chapter delineates the normal degenerative modifications in structure of the eye and ocular adnexal elements that occur with aging. Where appropriate, resultant changes in function are discussed. These degenerative alterations take place progressively in all aged individuals, although there is variation in timing and degree of phenotypic expression. An understanding of normal aging transformations is important if the clinician is to understand potential pathological processes which may be suspected in older patients.
