Summary

Visual disorders are often overlooked in the treatment of cognitive disorders of the elderly.

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of visual disorders among elderly patients at consultant outpatient center of Nantes clinical gerontology as part of the consultation geriatric memory. Secondary objectives are to describe ophthalmological diseases detected and taken into the proposed ophthalmic load, to determine if there are associations between eye diseases and cognitive disorders, to estimate the proportion of patients who may have an ophthalmologic evaluation to determine the cognitive profiles and geriatric evaluation and ocular pathological, depending on the assessment of arterial stiffness. The results of this study will build a testing strategy to promote access of older patients with cognitive impairment to vision care.
