How often should elderly adults have their eyes tested?

Annual comprehensive eye exams are recommended for adults over 60. More frequent testing may be needed for diabetic patients or those with existing eye conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration.

Can the eye test be done at home?

Basic vision checks can be done at home, but comprehensive eye testing — including glaucoma screening, retinal imaging, and slit-lamp examination — requires a clinic visit. The Care Manager handles all the logistics.

Does the CM help with getting new glasses?

Yes. If a new prescription is issued, the Care Manager coordinates glasses fitting at a trusted optician — selecting frames, placing the order, and ensuring the fit is correct on delivery.

What about cataract surgery coordination?

If the ophthalmologist recommends cataract surgery, the Care Manager coordinates the surgical consultation, pre-operative tests, hospital booking, and post-operative care. This is handled under our Dr. Consultation and Nursing services.

Which eye hospitals in Bangalore do you work with?

We coordinate with leading ophthalmology centres across Bangalore — Narayana Nethralaya, Sankara Eye Hospital, and well-regarded private ophthalmologists in your parent's neighbourhood.

Vision problems in elderly parents are among the most under-reported and under-treated conditions — because many elders adapt to gradual decline without realising how much their sight has changed, and because arranging an eye test in Bangalore involves finding the right ophthalmologist, booking an appointment, arranging transport, and understanding what the eye exam results mean. Kareverse coordinates the full process: scheduling the appointment with a trusted ophthalmologist, accompanying your parent to the clinic, sitting in on the consultation, ensuring the prescription is clearly understood, and coordinating the procurement of glasses or any recommended treatment or follow-up. If your parent has not had an eye test in more than a year, the Kare@home Assessment Visit will flag this as a recommendation — and eye testing coordination can be booked as a follow-up service.

Who It's For

Vision care that doesn't get postponed

Annual eye check-up

Eye exams should happen annually after age 60 — but they rarely do. Your Care Manager schedules the appointment, takes your parent, and reports back with the results.

Diabetic retinopathy screening

Diabetic patients need regular eye screening to catch retinopathy early. The Care Manager ensures these screenings happen on schedule and results are shared with the treating diabetologist.

Glasses update or cataract assessment

When your parent complains about not seeing well, the Care Manager coordinates the right specialist visit and follows through with glasses fitting or surgery planning.
