Does it seem like squinting is much more commonplace for you nowadays? Maybe you even feel like print is getting smaller…unfortunately, that’s probably not really the case. More than likely, you are displaying signs of Presbyopia, especially if you are 40 or older.
As you age, so do the lenses of your eyes, becoming thicker and losing elasticity and flexibility over time. This makes the business of focusing more difficult, which results in that “hard to read” print you may be frustrated with.
Fortunately, there are many options for a patient suffering from Presbyopia. Progressive lenses are a great choice that will enable you to have clear vision from both a distance and up close. Line bifocals are another choice that is still fairly popular as well. Or, you may opt for an additional pair of glasses to see up close for reading and computer distances.
Contacts may also be an option for some, although it depends on your individual situation. There has been a lot of progress made recently with multifocal contact lenses. There are also other alternatives available that may work for you. The best thing to do if you’re displaying symptoms of Presbyopia is schedule an exam with me, and we can determine what the issue is and how we can find the best solution for you.
