Preface: The aging eye: normal changes, age-related diseases, and sight-saving approaches.

abstract：PURPOSE:To examine changes in spherical equivalent over a 5-year period in persons 43 to 84 years of age. METHODS:All people 43 to 84 years of age and living in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, in 1988 were invited for a baseline examination (1988-1990) and a 5-year follow-up examination (1993-1995). Refractions were determined...
