The data collection technique used was observation, optometric cards, and a satisfaction questionnaire. The data were tabulated in the statistical program IBM SPSS ver. 25. Through the implementation of an optometric evaluation it was detected that 54% present myopia combined with presbyopia. At the end of the present study it was detected that the older adults present combined visual problems since most of them had not had recent optometric checkups, the implementation of the optical aids was successful in improving the visual conditions of the beneficiaries. These findings emphasize the need for regular visual care in older adults and highlight the importance of addressing refractive errors in this vulnerable population. | es_ES |
