Introduction. Aging of the body accompanied by the depletion of the physiological reserve of various organs and systems, which leads to the development of geriatric syndromes in the elderly and senile age. However, the geriatric status of patients with ophthalmic diseases has not sufficiently studied. Purpose of the study. Conducting a geriatric examination of patients with ophthalmological diseases and identifying the features of the geriatric status of patients. Materials and methods. Geriatric syndromes studied in 115 elderly patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma and 118 patients of the same age with cataracts. The geriatric examination included the study of the main clinical geriatric syndromes in patients with the above-mentioned groups and provided for a comprehensive geriatric assessment. Results. It was found that the geriatric status of patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma deteriorates significantly more than in cataracts. This is due to moderate walking and stability disorders, hypermobility syndrome, a psychological state of satisfactory and poor quality, and the presence of polypragmasia. Conclusion. The established features of the geriatric status recommended for use in the organization of specialized ophthalmological and geriatric care for these patients.
