What are some common age-related changes that occur in the eyes, and how do these changes impact an individual's vision and eye health as they grow older?

The lens becomes yellowed, less flexible, and slightly cloudy leading to the development of cataracts. The fat pads supporting the eyes decrease and the eyes sink into their sockets. The eye muscles become less able to fully rotate the eye. As you age, the sharpness of your vision (visual acuity) gradually declines.
