Pain is almost always a sign that there\u2019s something going on. If your elderly family member has sudden pain around or in her eyes, that can indicate that there\u2019s something that needs to be addressed. She could have experienced an injury or there may be an eye illness that\u2019s causing the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If your elderly family member\u2019s corrective lenses or normal vision have been fine and now she\u2019s having trouble seeing well, there are a number of possible causes. Her eye doctor or her doctor may be able to narrow this down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Floaters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Typically people who experience aura with migraine have experienced floaters, which are tiny artifacts in the field of vision. They might appear as shiny, shimmery objects or as blank spots in your senior\u2019s vision. If they\u2019re not related to a migraine, there can be other causes for floaters. This is especially important to get looked at if your senior is experiencing floaters that don\u2019t go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Light Sensitivity, Especially if it\u2019s Sudden<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Your senior might be sensitive to light for a lot of different reasons, especially if the light in question is a bright or unexpected one. But just as with other symptoms, if the light sensitivity is something that is new or, more importantly, is a sudden situation, there\u2019s reason to be concerned. There are a variety of different situations that could be at play and that need to be checked out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
