Whether you’re interested in reading glasses, multifocal contact lenses, or progressive lenses, our team can help enhance your near vision, improving your daily tasks and quality of life.
What is Presbyopia?
Presbyopia is an age-related vision condition that affects your ability to see objects up close. It develops as the lens inside the eye gradually becomes less flexible, reducing its ability to change shape and focus on near objects—an ability known as accommodation.
As a result, tasks like reading, sewing, or using a smartphone can become difficult. Unlike refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism, which are related to the shape of the eyeball or cornea, presbyopia is caused by a natural change in the lens’s flexibility over time.
Symptoms of Presbyopia
Presbyopia symptoms gradually become more noticeable as the eye’s lens loses flexibility. They include:
Factors That Influence the Development of Presbyopia
The natural aging process primarily causes the condition, although certain factors can accelerate its development.
Genetics
If your parents developed presbyopia early, you might be more likely to experience it sooner.
Medical Conditions:
Certain diseases (diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and cardiovascular diseases) can increase the risk of premature presbyopia.
Drug Use:
Some medications, especially those that can affect muscle control and blood flow, might increase the risk of presbyopia.
Lifestyle Factors:
Activities that require prolonged near work might not cause presbyopia but can exacerbate the symptoms.
