Abstract
A pair of surveys asked healthy adults about their everyday visual problems. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 100 and were screened for major visual impairment. Respondents rated the frequency of difficulty they had performing visual tasks such as reading, recognizing objects, picking out a face in a crowd, seeing in dimly lit environments, seeing moving objects, and so on. The surveys revealed five dimensions that declined with increasing age: visual processing speed, light sensitivity, dynamic vision, near vision, and visual search. The percentage of respondents reporting a decline in these visual dimensions increased two- to sixfold across the adult life span. Varying rates of visual decline for different tasks suggest that various aspects of vision age at different rates.
