Which visual assessment finding is a normal age-related change? Select all that apply.

Decreased tear secretion is indeed an age-related change that many older adults experience. As the body ages, the production of tears can diminish, leading to dry eyes and discomfort. This is a normal physiological process and is often more pronounced in older individuals due to changes in the lacrimal glands that produce tears.

In addition to decreased tear secretion, accumulation of yellow substances is also a normal finding. This can include changes in the lens of the eye, such as yellowing that occurs with age. This yellowing, often linked to cataract development, is a reflective change that generally affects vision.

Floaters, which are small specks or strands that float in the field of vision, can occur as a result of changes in the vitreous humor of the eye. While they can become more common as people age, they are not exclusively an age-related change and can occur in younger individuals as well.

An increase in orbital fat can happen with age but is often associated with other conditions or lifestyle factors, such as weight changes, and is not solely considered a normal age-related change.

The correct options reflect changes that are typically expected in the aging process of the eye, highlighting how normal aging can affect visual assessment findings.
