About Presbyopia
What is presbyopia?
Presbyopia is a natural aging process of the eye that affects the eye's ability to focus on close objects. It occurs when the lens of the eye becomes less flexible over time, making it harder to see things up close.
How is presbyopia different from other vision problems?
Unlike nearsightedness or farsightedness, which are caused by the shape of the eye, presbyopia is due to the aging of the eye's lens. It is a common condition that affects nearly everyone as they get older.
What are the symptoms of presbyopia?
Symptoms of presbyopia include difficulty reading small print, eye strain when doing close-up work, needing to hold objects at arm's length to see them clearly, and headaches or fatigue from doing close work.
How is presbyopia diagnosed?
An eye doctor can diagnose presbyopia through a comprehensive eye exam, which may include a visual acuity test, a refraction test, and an examination of the eye's structures.
How is presbyopia treated?
Presbyopia can be corrected with reading glasses, bifocals, progressive lenses, or contact lenses designed for near vision. In some cases, refractive surgery such as LASIK may be an option.
