Presbyopia

What is presbyopia?

Presbyopia is a gradual loss of the eye’s ability to focus on nearby objects because of the decrease in elasticity and flexibility of the eye. It is not preventable as it is a part of natural aging. The age at which presbyopia begins to affect most people is in the 40-49 year range.

What are the signs of presbyopia?

Common symptoms for presbyopia include: difficulty reading in dim light, blurred vision at normal reading distance and eye fatigue. 

How do you diagnose presbyopia?

A comprehensive eye examination.

How do you treat presbyopia?

Reading glasses, bifocal glasses, trifocal glasses, progressive and contact lenses can be prescribed to people with presbyopia. Condition may become complicated for patients with other vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism and may require a combination of treatments.
